“Any laws about noise-making mufflers?” David asked. “It throws the sound to a skyrocket high!”
Ben who lives on the Northwest Side had a similar complaint.
“I’m wondering why San Antonio doesn’t have a sound ordnance on vehicle exhaust,” he asked. “Or why there isn’t one incorporated into the vehicle inspections?”
Well, there are laws on the books when it comes to this issue. One is from the Texas Transportation Code. Section 507.604 requires a muffler be in “good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.”
