Jack,
I believe most of what you said came out in the trial as a lot of us went to listen in because of where they set the DB meter up and everyone was afraid to drive by there. The trucks coming down off the mountain with their Jacobs brakes sound like a freight train going through a house because of the canyon and lake amplifying the noise. And this was on I-5 which is our main freeway through here. I haven't heard of any more of that since and I really haven't heard of any noise tickets being given out. I do agree on the muffler issue as that is not only looud but can cause carbon monoxide inside the car. The guy with the Honda that went to court had a mechanic with him and the car had never been touched as it was almost new. It was just that the noise amplified pushed the DB meter past whatever level they were looking for.
