It's 2019, you don't need to make noise to generate power. Quiet down, find a way to make your power without ruining it for everyone. There is a reason why Laguna Seca cap most track days at 90DB, loud cars are annoying.

I think there is a point where we all agree that it is just noise a becomes more of an annoyance than pleasure. Ddbs are a logarithmic calculation and so each increase or decrease in dbs is significant because it is exponential. I am see several company making cut outs to deal with the noise issue.

This only had do with rich people moving in next to a track that had been there for a long time. Prime property and the owners have enough money and power to get the noise level changed. This has happened with flight paths for air planes and shooting ranges. I spent much of my career dealing with the NIMBY effect when the State owned shooting range had been there for decades and the city came to it and people where powerful enough to get some ranges shut down. Fortunately there was a law past to protect shooting ranges from unreasonable attacks from the public.
