AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate motorcycle exhaust sound levels in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "A-weighted sound level," "decibel (dB)," and "motorcycle," and establishes maximum sound levels that motorcycles can produce when measured according to specific testing procedures. The bill requires motorcycles to meet certain decibel limits at idle, 2000 rpm or 75% of maximum engine speed, and 5000 rpm or 75% of maximum engine speed, depending on the number of cylinders. It also provides an adjustment for motorcycles equipped with exhaust systems labeled as meeting federal noise emission requirements, unless those systems have been modified or tampered with.
