How loud can cars be in Colorado?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:31:32 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- If you've ever encountered someone driving a vehicle so loud that you just know it shouldn't be legal, you might be onto something.At least in Colorado.That's because there's a law designed to reduce noise on roads by requiring mufflers.Mufflers are devices that dampen sound from internal combustion engines. What does the law say?Colorado law doesn't allow any modifications that cause "excessive or unusual noise," and you aren't allowed to install a bypass or cutoff for the muffler. The law doesn't list what decibels -- or sound levels -- are acceptable or unacceptable. However, any aftermarket mufflers can't be any louder than what originally came with the vehicle. Headed to the lake? Check for toxic algae blooms Because electric vehicles don't have mufflers, the law doesn't apply to them. But if you're caught with an aftermarket muffler that's too loud -- or if you've decided to bypass your muffler to make your car louder -- you can face a fine of up to $100.Peo...
