Calgary’s Noise Snare: A Speed Camera for Loud Pipes

Here’s something I hope doesn’t make its way down from the Great White North. The Noise Snare is basically a decibel meter attached to a camera, so it works like a speed camera, but for noise. Ride past it with pipes that are too loud, and you get a $200 ticket in the mail.

Mark Nesdoly invented this latest surveillance nanny after a
motorcycle woke up his daughter, which surely endears it to the legions
of meddling whiners who eat pizza with a knife and fork and exist to
complain. Personally, I’m sick to death of parents who feel the entire world should be a soft cocoon tuned to coddle their offspring. I don’t know… If I have to listen to your little brat bray in a restaurant or scream on a cross-country flight, maybe these folks could suck it up once in a while.  

Initial testing has just been completed up in Calgary, and if all goes according to plan, Noise Snares could be up and running by summer. Oh Canada indeed. via Calgary Herald
