Noise Snare(Radar) Update

[Offroad]

From The Calgary Sun......... Platt Inventor of Noise Snare says City of Calgary bylaw officials have bungled using the technology

[redline]

Lol I wonder who the one dumb ass was that got the single ticket...

Wow, it's almost like human beings can detect the vulnerabilities of a system and adapt their behavior to get around it.

Maybe I should get to fine him every time his kid cries in public because I don't like that sound either.

This REALLY made me smile haha. I love seeing idiotic policies like this failing miserably. Suck an egg yuppies

"Calgary bylaw officers managed to write but one measly ticket using Noise Snare — hardly the impact Calgarians were hoping for or expecting."

What were Calgarians hoping for? For their fellow Calgarians to get BS tickets handed out like drivers licences?

It's funny when the system works but doesn't generate revenue, how quickly it is squashed lol...

"People are now being more cautious of their loud vehicle now that the snare is trying to be implemented, wait, what? One ticket? Must be useless lol"

Just round up all the Harley Davidsons, they cause all the noise in my area. Freakin' posers!

[rage2]

The one ticket was thrown out because the noise snare had a technical problem when recording that instance haha.

We've wrote a few articles about it, problem with the noise snare is that it doesn't compensate for distance, and the bylaw doesn't stipulate distance either. Sound levels drop logarithmically against distance. So to hide the snare, you're at a far distance and it'll read too low. Too close to the road, and people will quiet down and not fail.

Both the noise snare inventor dude, and the city bungled the whole noise bylaw. Fix the distance problem both on the tech side and the bylaw side, and we'll have a system that actually works to correct the noise problem.

“But no matter what I tried — pretending I was changing a tire, or reading a newspaper — as soon as they saw the van, they’d slow down and put-put by. They’d pass and then speed up again.”

Wow, what a bunch of assholes, slowing down to make sure they don't accidentally kill a guy they think is changing his tire.

Pretty much. I don't think any puny 4 or 6 cylinder even with a straight exhaust can be as loud as those Harleys. At least the noise isn't as deep as them. They are actually almost deafening. And basically 9 out of 10 harleys run open pipes so that's all they really need to do.

I assure you that yuppies had nothing to do with the implementation of this device.

I live near the intersection of Crowchild and 17th Ave where Crowchild straightens out and Harlies aren't the only offenders. Bro-trucks with diesel stacks are the biggest PIA.

However, when a nice car gets on it I like trying to guess what car it is because the noise isn't obnoxious.

For the record, Italian cars, GTR's with exhaust and flat-6 Porsche's are the easiest to pick out.

True enough - although the same logic applies to photo radar vans, and plenty of people still manage to get caught by those...

what makes the most noise near me is all those god damn planes... cant even hold a conversation when they fly over! fine the airlines!

I see the most flashes on Memorial by the CBC building. Excellent hiding spot there haha. Noobs still get caught at all locations, but we have much more speeders than noisy Harley's.

I don't get the point of the noise snare. If all these bikes and cars are "defeating" it by just driving the speed limit, then its main purpose really isn't to monitor the noise of vehicles, it's to watch for aggressive driving. If that's the case, then a) we already have laws in place for stunting, and b) accelerating briskly isn't against the law, so fuck off

You're out of luck. The bylaw only applies to motor vehicles.

Noise snare cannot effectively be used on 17th ave.
