  1. According to this they do – another way for the govt to generate revenue from crime. Good idea!

  2. Yeah this really works. They tried the idea out in Paris a while back and things are getting better. More of a deterrent though. The sensors should be signposted to remind noisy bikers.

  3. While noise cameras are typically set up to detect any noisy vehicles, the devices in Paris are specifically targeting motorcycles with one set up in Saint-Forget, a hilly rural area near Paris popular with riders.

    The Motor Cycle Noise Act 1987 prohibits the supply of motor cycle exhaust systems and silencers likely to result in the emission of excessive noise; and for connected purposes.

    In the UK, the noise limit for a motorbike is set at 80dB, with an extra 6dB added to account for mechanical noise.

  4. Just use this – Self Evident is a free, convenient and effective way for people across England & Wales to engage with the police. With 28,000 registered users already, the app is used every day to report crime and capture digital evidence.

  5. DecibelX looks good for measuring loudness but it would need integration with camera and messenger to send to the police. Like the idea though – noise is antisocial pollution
