NOISY cars will now be towed – but drivers have three shots to quiet their vehicles.

A new ordinance is putting a stop to loud cars that disturb others.

The rule now gives officers the ability to get vehicles towed if it has three noise offenses.

Cars can be towed both if the vehicle has three noise violations or if the driver does, according to WRFA-LP 107.9 FM.

The Jamestown, New York, City Council passed the ordinance after the agenda said that “[c]hronic vehicle noise has become a persistent problem,” that is usually caused by repeat offenders.

Police can now “have the offending vehicle towed and impounded as a public nuisance at the full cost to the owner of such vehicle,” the agenda stated.

Per the agenda, the “ordinance change would provide immediate relief to the ears of residents.”

Earlier this year, a law was passed in an Alabama town stating that drivers of noisy cars that are pulled over could be fined $50.

For repeat offenders, the bill can get even higher.

A second offense in a year would lead to a $250 dollar fine.

If three violations are done in a year, a $500 fine and/or 10 days in jail can be issued to offenders.

The problem was difficult for lawmakers to find a solution to as enforcing the law proved tricky.

“You go fix it and show that you fixed it, and there is nothing to prevent people from just putting back on whatever modification was that caused the irritating loud noise,” Huntsville City Council member Jennie Robinson said at the time.

But after working with the city police captain, officials were able to come up with a rule that worked for the department.

“We put in some fines and penalties that would encourage a change in behavior and discourage people from just going and putting back whatever the modification was,” the lawmaker said.

A sergeant with the Huntsville Police Department agreed.

New driving laws in 2025

Drivers across the United States are having to adjust to a slew of new road rules that take effect in 2025. Some of those include:

“Now that it has teeth to it and now that it can be applied in situations where state law can’t, you’re now going to have that avenue where officers are enforcing it more frequently,” said officer Chris Jackson.

Technology is even advancing in the U.S. to catch loud noise offenders.

In Arlington, Virginia, a pilot program was introduced earlier this year that aimed to install noise monitoring systems for cars with loud exhausts.

Like speed cameras, monitors would instead enforce loud vehicle violations on vehicles driving past.

The revenue from said violation was planned to go toward other transportation initiatives.
