It's a new year and again we're given the opportunity to speak out against all the noise, from whatever source, and make a difference in creating A Quiter O'ahu.

If you haven't yet, please take the time to tour our site.  You will find information on: 
--how to measure noise and what noise measurements mean and how noise levels compare to everyday sounds
--information on our worst noises: illegally loud stereos, illegally modified exhausts, and such
--our noise laws on O'ahu and Hawai'i, overall
--how to report noise violations, and which agency has jurisdiction over what kind of noise
--a way to contact us to ask questions about noise, or just to send your Aloha

Have a good 2015 O'ahu.  Let's make a difference this year!

Thank you VERY much for your fight against the Loud Motorcycle Cult[ure] and their daily noise assault on our children, our elderly, our families. As a Houston Police Officer, I endeavored to bring civility and common-decency to the streets of Houston, Texas, via a strict vehicular noise enforcement initiative, but the Loud Motorcycle Cult[ure], via threats, obfuscations, lies, forced Mayor Parker, Police Chief McClelland, Houston's City Legal, Houston's Municipal Court, to cower and run scared. The fight continues and I am desperately searching for legal representation to fight this battle in the Civil Courts of America. Why? Money is the god of government, the nonfeasance of our State and local law enforcement entities in area of vehicular noise abatement is chronic and growing exponentially; therefore, those responsible for enforcement of vehicular noise laws must be FORCED to do their job! It's time to take our streets and our communities back from the Motorcycle noise terrorists who inflict their noise assault on us all. Thank you for this most interesting and informative article. I've taken the liberty to post it on my Loud Motorcycles Suck - Facebook Community Page. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to assist you in your fight to restore common decency and respect to our communities by the eradication of the noise thugs that dishonor our families and our right to domestic tranquility. Sincerely, Rickey Holtsclaw, Houston PD/Retired, Loud Motorcycles Suck - Facebook Community Page.

I vacation on Oahu for a month every other year and spend upwards of $6,000 that goes to the Hawaii economy. This year the loud mufflers from motorcycles, mopeds and cars has put me over the edge. I love Hawaii but I will now think of going elsewhere that enforces loud noise laws. I understand that the HPD doesn't care and doesn't stop people with loud mufflers. They cant be bothered. Well, guess what I can't be bothered coming here to spend my money anymore! So sad there are so many inconsiderate people that only care about making as much noise as possible in Paradise. as possible.

Thank you William for your comment, care and concern for the people of Oahu and the quality of life there. It is refreshing to hear some honest words about the destructive nature of unregulated motor vehicle noise as it destroys the quality of life for millions of American citizens on a daily basis while our law enforcement community fails to intercede on our behalf as they are in a complete state of nonfeasance.

The Loud Biker Cult[ure] rants about their contributions to the economy, their philanthropy and patriotism, but the truth is, they destroy the environment, they destroy tourism, they destroy the quality of life and endanger our most precious and our most defenseless...and the Loud Biker Cult[ure] does this with impunity and without remorse.

Again, thank you William for your comment and for standing against this vehicular noise scourge that is growing exponentially while our apathetic and participatory law enforcement community cowers and our leadership compromise their oath of office and prostitutes themselves with the Loud Biker Cult[ure] for their expendable income. Thank you!!!
