Yeah they're pretty ridiculous in that area.....I gently accelerated from 0-25mph and they still thought it was "way too loud". If I avoid that one area I should be fine....they'll pull you over for just about anything. Nothing better to do it would seem.....its a 4sq mile city with like 4-5 cops on duty most of the time....they must get pretty bored.

At idle if you stand maybe 5-6 feet from the rear of the car you can hardly hear it. Up close its a low rumble/whistle, but its not "loud".
