Yeah, I have seen those but they are illegal in a lot of states.

I don't know how bad it is there but these always piss me off. Most of the time its jackasses doing it late at night or early in the morning. If its not constant or during time's where its otherwise quiet I don't really care.

>Drivers with roaring engines are being hit with $250 tickets in Newport, Rhode Island thanks to new 'noise cameras' that detect vehicles exceeding the city's decibel limit and automatically flag them for fines. The technology, which is set to be expanded to numerous states across the US, is targeting cars and motorcycles that exceed noise laws with revving engines, blaring stereos, or modified muffler exhausts. In late July, one such camera clocked a crimson Mustang GT at 85 decibels - two over the legal limit - and instantly issued a violation. 'Folks have reached their boiling point,' said Newport City Councilor David Carlin III, describing the frustration that drove the city to deploy the devices after years of complaints about roaring engines that rattle windows and ruin summer evenings.
