Read the FAQ. It relates to new vehicles from 2009 onwards.

It cannot be made retrospective. And surprise surprise, nowhere does it state how the level of 74db is measured.

It could be 1 foot away, or 100 feet. With unknown equipment and unknown circumstances.

it's a bit like saying a 747 taking off at Heathrow is only 74db.....if you're at the North Pole.

TBH one of the most annoying noises on the road are police sirens. So lets get them all ticketed and issued with fines. Not to mention them stupid blue lights...flashing and causing annoyance.
