Do you get any grief from your neighbours.......
...about how noisy your car is in the morning.
Mine tend to comment down the pub.
"Late going to work this morning were we?" Just to let me know they heard me
I'm sure some neighbours hate it though

Does anyone know if there is anything they can do about a loud exhausts early in the morning? The reason I'm asking is a guy at work was complaining to me about a neighbour that starts her TVR tamora every morning a lets it idle for 20 mins before she drives off. He said he has phoned environmental health, but is there anything they can do?

LOL I wonder what your new neighbours will make of it once they have bought the houses and moved in
I normally don't make a noise, never have music loud or anything, but sick of all the curtain twitching round here
The de-cat will give them something to listen to while they're having a gorp , teach 'em for being nosy

1) Environmental Health is a difficult route, 3 telephone complaints and 1 letter will get a noise monitor installed in the house and checked weekly/fornightly. Problem is exhausts noise is made up of alot of reverberation (low frequency vibration), so noise monitor will turn up poor result.
2) A couple a grand will buy a nice multi coned acoustic barrier on the front of the house, like those used on generator doors. Very bloody ugly and planning permission required.
3) Good all straight talking/good communication. Kindly request the neighbour to park the car with the exhaust facing away from your house. BEST OPTION i do think.
Sorry to be a clinical.
