Introduction
Loud vehicles can often be a source of nuisance and trouble for
many, especially when these occur in residential areas or other
highly populated areas. The UAE is known for its luxury cars and
vast wealth, and there are sometimes vehicles which produce noises
or are modified to produce sounds which many considered as
disturbing. These include sounds which arise due to the engine or
chassis, overly load stereo usage or vigorous and excessive
utilization of horn.
Sharjah has recently attempted to battle this issue, and also
raise awareness amongst young people concerning the modification of
vehicles to achieve louder sounds. The introduction of the Federal
Traffic Law Number 178/2017 occurred for just this purpose.
