Noise Ordinance in Denver Passed

[MrFreeze5]

Get the same alarm as theirs, put it in a wooden box with a car battery, rig up a remote to it, put it in front of their door, hide in the bushes with the remote and turn it on. Turn it off when they open the door, then turn it back on when the go back inside. Lather, rinse, repeat.

No, I had a great idea that would piss them off. I was going to run a straight header with just a race baffle inside it and sit in the alley in the middle of the night(by their bedroom) and do burnouts. Cant do THAT now. Denver sucks! Now I have to return the baffle I just ordered a week ago. It hasnt even been delivered yet!!! I wish i had known about this ordinance before today. But glad I found out before this thing hit the road daily. Whenever i drive by the thing in my jeep, i rev the engine, or turn a certain song on and turn it way up so the subs vibrate it. Let the thing go off, then drive off. Otherwise, i never turn my system up loud enough to hear it outside the vehicle in residential areas, but it has great sound dampening inside.

If someone ever broke into the damn thing, theyd never know it the thing goes off so much.

Chapter 36 Noise Control

[HandleGrip]

Ok so, I'm new to riding in Denver and am wondering if this noise ordinance is only in the Denver city limits or does it include surrounding metro area? Or have any ordinances added this since 2009 or the last posting? I am putting a voodoo GP style exhaust on that is 97db's...

[wulf]

There has been a colorado law banning louder than stock exhaust. It's rarely at best enforced though.

[dm_gsxr]

It's a federal law. If your exhaust doesn't have the marks on it as indicated in the Federal Law, you are subject to fines.

One site I was on (I'm on so many, it could have been this one) had riders in Federal parks pulled over and receiving $2,000 noise fines.

Certainly it doesn't happen everywhere and most people don't get dinged for it. But if you swap your exhaust, you are subject to fines.

And states and local city/county governments have ordinances that follow these laws. Denver is one of many including Boston, the one in Arizona or New Mexico, and even cities in Canada.

Thought this was covered in the last 5 pages from 2009?

FYI your voodooo pipe will be louder than 97DB unless youre rocking it on a 250R

Arvada has the same law.

Denver has laid back on this, however if you draw attention to yourself then you will get pulled over. I have gotten warnings for this. these guys are too busy dealing with criminals.

All the Sportbike riders were blaming the Harley guys and all the Harley guys were blaming the Sportbikes. this law could have been beat if everyone would unite.

I would rather pay the fine, than get side swiped by the 16 Y.O. girl texting on her phone.

Be Safe.

Denver has laid back on this ... these guys are too busy dealing with criminals.

Except now we're in a recession... and they'll do anything to generate revenues.

Cops/meter maids downtown are out in full force these days - handing out tickets for anything and everything.

Except now we're in a recession...

Recession has officially been over in economical terms for almost a year now. The recession is never over when it comes to ticket revenue, however.

It's been brought back from the dead....just for you.

Seriously tho, the sound issue (road and off-road) is not going away anytime soon.

[JustSomeDude]

The economical terms presented on my paychecks beg to differ.

I was going to put down a winkface, but it's too depressing to laugh at. So you get a frowny guy instead...

Yup.

It's "free" money for them--just like all the new red light cameras going up.

Economy's in the shitter, can't raise taxes, so raise fines/fees instead...

I thought hitler died in 1945 not still making laws in this country thank god all our troops are fighting and dying for our freedom and constitution what a waste f*ck the bullshit liberals and there nazi crap. I hope they dont hear me coming with my epa approved exhaust and i run over their useless bodies.

[Fernman]

Its better to have had a pipe and not needed it than to not have one and need it.

we all do it.

I don't condone the rev limitier at 13000 RPMs at 3 in the morning, but a little growl from the bike will wake up that unattentive driver trying to multitask in traffic.

Me wants an air horn !

Clearly, the 4th Reich is present on the City Council of Denver, and found that noisy motorcycles stem directly from the Jewish population of Denver. Their first-strike was a noise ordnance. What's next, Bill O'Reilly for Mayor?

[Sean]

My current KTM950Adv is a lot louder than my prior 01 R6 and I have to say that traffic does notice me a lot more. It could help that the bike is also a bit larger in size. Does it stop the idiots from merging into my lane because they are to freaking lazy to turn their head, no. But every little bit helps.
