Loudness is your “size” on a bike. If people don’t hear you, they damn sure don’t see you. I’m sure it’s annoying, but no more annoying than being run over.
That makes sense on freeways/ large roads, but I even hear it in parking lots, or when they’re idiling. If a bicycle can safely ride there, then a motorcycle doesn’t need to rev.
Wait. There seems to be no correlation between loudness motorcycles and safety according to, like, every car site. I think I’ve just been told that so often that I believed it. Seemed like it made sense, but doesn’t show that it helps. This is what I am referring to
If that’s the case fuck em. Loud assholes.
Loudness barely helps emergency vehicles. When you’re moving at speed, even with an incredibly loud mechanical siren you’d be surprised how close you have to be before you can hear it

Edit: I learned this is probably a lie.
