Description
For years there have been many complains about souped up cars on Six Forks, Wake Forest, Raleigh Beltline, Wade Ave, major roadways. In recent months the noise has increased in the Anderson Drive/Oxford Road area. I observed a car today at corner of Oxford and Anderson traveling on Anderson with rear tires jacked up at a level above the hood of the car, apparently not street legal. A lot of noise all week. Can the city post police cars in strategic areas to signal that this will not be tolerated? Presumably these same cars are road racing based on the way their engines rev. Even if they are not pulled over, some police presence could potentially be useful. Thank you.

So is this a complaint about noise or speed or racing? A noise complaint about someone’s (presumably) inspection passed vehicle is not what the city or this service is designed for... Similarly, if it's speeding or racing - then call the police.
I don't like your leaf blower but this is not the forum.

There are numerous threads from all over Raleigh with noise concerns, ranging from gas blowers to private waste industries trucks arriving in the wee hours.
Other threads specifically related to the car noise/speeding topic include this one.

Suggestions (which are actually difficult to achieve):

Raleigh city officials should ask the chief of police to focus on proactive enforcement for illegally-loud motor vehicles. Also, the state DMV should require that authorized vehicle inspectors be required to look for illegal noise-making equipment.
Raleigh citizens can get more involved by reporting motor vehicle noise violations to the police. Finally, motor racing hobbyists should invest in quiet modified performance systems or tow their vehicle to the Wake County Speedway (where it is legal to operate with loud pipes).
