Reasonable and effective laws for the enforcement of motor vehicle noise have been enacted and successfully applied in California. Specific laws to prohibit both sale and operation of noisy vehicles were necessary. Measurements by both instruments and human ear judgments are practical and necessary at this time. Noise limits should be gradually reduced commensurate with the needs of the public and the capability of the technology. Future controls on noise producing components, in addition to the complete vehicle, appear to be necessary to obtain desirable minimum levels. California has pioneered interim solutions to portions of this environmental problem and has developed the expertise along with the practical experience to achieve further advancements in solving the problems.
