Written question asked by Damian Hinds (Conservative) on Wednesday, 21 April 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 26 April 2021. It was answered by Baroness Maclean of Redditch (Conservative) on Tuesday, 27 April 2021 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Motor Vehicles: Noise
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what data his Department holds on trends and patterns in (a) vehicle noise measurements and (b) complaints about vehicle noise.
- Answer
-
The Department does not hold data on trends and patterns in vehicle noise measurements, but commissioned research in 2018 to better understand the prevalence of excessive vehicle noise and the options for reducing it.
The Department has seen an increase in the number of enquiries about vehicle noise over the past three years. It should be noted that this trend cannot be reliably linked to a change in individual vehicle noise levels or to the prevalence of excessively noisy vehicles due to the subjective nature of vehicle noise complaints.
