Right now I'd like to throttle the guy in the campsite across from us who thinks the rest of the campground wants to hear Cher's "If I could turn back time".
So it is being respectful not to rev bomb neighbors. I use to roll out of driveway at 2am with my sportsers engine off. Rolling down the street I waited to open lots and fired the engine. Then idled out of the neighborhood. The granddaughter could hear my xt225 before anyone. I was a mile away! The little xt was loud. I had a tunable washer in the tip. Like the old snuffers. So I could turn the washer late at night.Yawp, camping is ruined for me. Overcrowded, generators running, TV's playing on the side of the camper, phones blaring music. I've got a decent list of secluded spots I've found while on the DR that I'll take the family. But I can't do major campgrounds anymore. Its awful. These past ten years or so has just been awful.
My comments on being loud are kind of tongue in cheek. There's a time and place. I'll take the main road to work on the Harley because there's no homes there. The back way in is crowded apartments and the sound just echoes that early in the morning. That sort of thing.
I'm not the best example for that scenario as I don't have neighbors.So it is being respectful not to rev bomb neighbors. I use to roll out of driveway at 2am with my sportsers engine off.

Well I now live in a loud small town. I blend in. I run outside for the fire truck and big tractors. The fire alarm is across the street. And I talk to half the volunteers. The response time is impressive. I got use to the alarm. Kinda ear piercing in the front yard. The same loud hunting truck tires are all the volunteers. I guess the same loud noise can be good or bad.I'm not the best example for that scenario as I don't have neighbors.
There is a trailer-parkesque road about a half a mile down the main road from me, and there's a BUNCH of folks that are all into drag racing and whatnot. One of them has a blower, but I have no idea what its in. I don't venture into that "development" as its, uhm, off limits to outsiders. Lotta weirdos with no trespassing signs- I just ride on by. But they're always doing burnouts and rapping motors. I love it. Wife hates it, but I always go outside to listen. Like if a helicopter were to buzz overhead.
Pretty much the same for me.This thread is interesting, gives a lot of insight to how different people are.
I live 3/4 mile from my nearest neighbor, 4 miles from a store, 30 miles to town so I don't have a noise problem. But, I like to ride loud motorcycles , my motorcycles are loud , nobody cares, cops don't ticket me for them.
My coworkers f350 was straight piped with a chip. Sounded about like a road tractor. Wasn't bad and he idled around. The turbo kept the noise down. The chip was also set below rolling coal levels.I ordered a full Banks kit for my 2008 Diesel HD truck over a decade ago
to my surprise the new exhaust was only the back half, new after the DPF.
- air intake
- computer
- stainless exhaust
basically You unhook the OEM muffler and toss that and all the pipe behind it out on the curb.
Then the new exhaust goes in , with all 3" (IIRC) pipe - no muffler.
I was skeptical as I dont like loud. But seriously I did not notice anything , i wish now had would have measured with a db meter.
The DPF is what keeps he noise down.
I grew up in the middle of 100 acres. My parent's house is right in the middle, my wife and I put our house on the far back corner, as far from the main road as possible. I'm spoiled to peacefulness. I go in to town to work everyday and can't wait to get back out of the damn city.This thread is interesting, gives a lot of insight to how different people are.
