OK people I need some advice.
I moved into a new place last November, and since then I really haven't got to know my neighbours. But the one on the left of me introduced himself quite rudely this morning. He is about 55 and I think his single. There has been one case when apparently he complained about my exhaust noise. Now my car is no monster but I did get a "sports" exhaust put on from a reputable company. So as far as I am aware it's fully legal. It's just a 2.5' mandrel bent zorts with 1 straight through muffler. Cat hasn't been touched but I'm not sure if that makes any difference to the noise factor. It defiantly has a note, but apparently 4 months ago he complained to my gf when I wasn't there that I rev my car and make a lot of noise. This is BS. Now this morning he came running out of his front door as I was reversing out of the drive way and started yelling at me. I bit my tongue and just went along with his rant cos I was late to work. He accused me of "sitting there revving the car". I always warm my car up in the morning (I did it for 1 minute because a) I moved the gf's car out of the way, and b) Geelong is freezing in the morning)). If he makes a complaint to the Police what do I do? I honestly do not sit there and rev it; if anything I try to keep it as quite as possible. Could the Police make me do some ADR check for the Db level? What woudl you do? Oh and to make things worse he says I do it all the time. Its teh first time ive driven my car in 1.5 weeks! Not a great way to start my week! ![]()
