[Adopted 10-9-2006 by Ord. No. 06-10]
No person shall make any unnecessary or annoying noises with
a motor vehicle by squealing tires, the use of motor vehicle brakes
which are in any way activated or operated by the compression of the
engine [i.e., a Jacob's Engine Brake (TM) or similar hydraulically operated device that converts a power-producing
diesel engine into a power-absorbing retarding mechanism], excessively
accelerating the engine, blowing the horn or emitting unnecessary
and loud muffler noises.
It shall be in an affirmative defense to prosecution under this
article that the otherwise prohibited noise was necessary for the
protection of persons and/or property.
A violation of this article is declared to be a public nuisance.
