[quote davester] It is absurd to think that you have to turn to noise pollution (i.e. obnoxious unmuffled internal combustion engines) to solve this.
Reminds me of a non motor story. My brother is a Chemical Engineer and years ago he designed and then helped in the construction of a natural gas extraction plant here in the UK. He was very pleased with his little baby but was told at the end that he had to add a 'pollutant' into the end product as he had made it so clean it couldn't be smelt in the unlikely event that the plant developed a leak.
