Ecologically conscious California became a trailblazer back in 1959 with its air quality standards, and now it'll make another major move — controlling noise pollution.

The state legislature has approved a five-year pilot program targeting loud exhausts from vehicles with new tools to assist police in ferreting out offenders, Autoweek reported.

“Illegally loud exhaust harms our bodies, can be deafening if you are walking or cycling on the street, and wakes people up from their sleep,” read the Assembly bill analysis. “While vehicle exhaust noise is limited to 95 decibels, there are no universal means to monitor and enforce this law.”

Californians love their car culture, and the sunny, open road is a magnet for drivers of both cars and motorcycles to enhance the sounds of their engines.

“Vehicle owners can easily buy and install new exhaust systems or make other modifications to their vehicle that will change the level of sound,” the analysis read.

The state will purchase “noise cameras” equipped with microphones and sound meters that will zero in on the noisy vehicle and take a photo of the license plate. Each camera costs $25,000 and will be installed in six cities that have not been identified. The program starts Jan. 1.

Signs will be placed in the areas where the cameras will be utilized and include a statement that uses the words “Photo Enforced.” Such cameras are currently used in New York City, London, and Knoxville, Tennessee.
