Under the by-law, a motorcycle cannot be operated in Oakville if it emits any sound exceeding 92 decibels (dBA) from the exhaust when it's idling. Decibel readings will be taken at 50 centimetres from the exhaust by a sound level meter. A train whistle, jackhammer or rock concert generate similar noise levels, typically reaching 90 decibels. Sustained exposure to decibel levels of 90-95 dBA could result in hearing loss. Most motorcycles will comply with the by-law. Owners should only be concerned if their motorcycle has been un-muffled or had other after-market exhaust systems installed. Free testing: find out if your motorcycle complies with the new by-law requirements The Town of Oakville and Halton Regional Police is offering a public awareness session on June 24 to give owners a chance to test their motorcycles for decibel levels, free of charge, before the by-law is enforced.
