Here’s how Houston can silence those ear-blasting cars and trucks | Opinion

An op-ed in the Houston Chronicle about how the city should use "noise cameras" to ticket cars that are too loud. Here's a key paragraph:

"Anyone living in Midtown or along the Washington Corridor knows the sound. It’s the nightly, window-rattling roar of illegally modified exhausts, blasting stereos, and aggressively revved engines. This isn’t the ambient hum of a vibrant city. It’s an assault on our quality of life, a degradation of our property, and a symptom of growing public disorder.

Or, as Mayor John Whitmire succinctly put it in a recent New York Times article: “Too loud, too loud, too loud!”"
