Noise is one of the most frequently cited impacts of motorized use on other visitors. Does the Forest Service plan to regulate vehicle noise levels?
A. Respondents from a wide range of interests, including MOTORIZED user groups and manufacturers, have asked the Forest Service to consider setting a maximum noise level for motorized vehicles operating on national forests and grasslands. Some states now regulate noise, and standards differ from state to state. The final rule has no noise regulation, but we expect to address this issue in the future.
