Any motorized device that is used in the general enviroment, whether that be city, suburbs or rural, should be quiet enough that people are not unduly disturbed. When on vacation last summer in Manasota Key, FL the constant roar of un-muffled or barely so Harley-Davidson bikes cruising by our condo at all hours put a damper on what would have otherwise been a restful time. To make things worse, these childish idiots would clutch in and rev their motors just to make sure they did not go unnoticed. I'm happy that I can cruise by my neighbors on my bike and they will not have noticed my passing unless looking my way.
