They don't need to research that. My bikes are not loud compared to harleys, but i've rode with the stock exhaust for a couple weeks, and it's big difference. That's the equivalent of saying fire truck/ambulance sirens are not effective.
yea he is closed minded on some things.

But to argue with your statement about sirens .....THEY ARE NOT EFFECTIVE! There are car accidents everyday involving rescue vehicles and regular drivers because the person could not hear the siren thanks to cell phones, loud radio's, etc etc.

Clark howard brought this up recently on one of his shows, in Washington state and a few others they are testing "The Rumbler" which is a device that is equiped on emergency vehicles that will emit a low frequency sound wave that actually makes your car rumble when an emergency vehicle is nearby.
