Anyone who drives a noisy vehicle should be fined in the future. Many are happy, others feel discriminated against.
Press harder on the gas and screech the tires; noisy car drivers, also known as auto-posers, will be fined in the future.
The national councilor of Aargau SP, Gabriela Suter, has presented a political initiative. “I call for the introduction of noise indicators and driving bans for particularly noisy vehicles,” he explains.
The upper noise limit is not yet clear
True, unnecessary engine howling can be punished today. The cause of the noise must be caught red-handed by the police officers. In the future, this will be done using special flash boxes, as has been done at Tempo for years.
These speed cameras are currently being developed at the ETH in Lausanne. Peter Ettler, President of the Lärmliga Schweiz, demands, on the one hand, that these devices be used as quickly as possible, “on the other hand, rules are needed as simple as possible for when the noise speed cameras should blink”, he says. and emphasizes: “So a noise-upper limit is needed.”
In August, motorcyclists put their helmets on the Bundesplatz in Bern to protest against the stricter noise restrictions.

This should be set at 81 decibels, as required by the recently launched request from the Lärmliga Schweiz. 81 decibels: it is as loud as playing the piano, the noise of children or traffic in general.
“No noise information on the bike”
Walter Wobmann, president of the Swiss Motorcycle Association FMS, believes that motorcycle and car drivers who use speed cameras with noise and fines are extremely unfair.
“The driver doesn’t know when he’s driving too hard. That’s the difference with speed. In the vehicle or on the motorcycle, there is no indication of noise, ”says Wobmann. Furthermore, such low noise limits and planned driving bans would discriminate against all motorcycle drivers.
Grace period still without fine
That is why National Councilor SVP Wobmann wants to fight the corresponding attacks in parliament. These will be treated in at least one year.
However, some cantons already use noise measurement devices in road traffic. If someone is driving too hard, “Please be quiet” lights up on the display of the measuring device. However, this does not result in a fine. Not yet.
