Collier County to evaluate use of vehicle noise cameras

Noise pollution on Collier County streets due to vehicles with modified mufflers is gaining attention with county commissioners discussing partnering with the Quiet Florida initiative that pushes to implement more restrictions on car noise. 

Quiet Florida, led by Mary Tatigian, was established about two years ago with its community growing daily with residents experiencing constant car noise disturbances in their neighborhoods. Tatigian approached the commissioners at their last meeting to ask for support by considering ways to approach the issue. 

“Unfortunately, we’ve had a drastic change in traffic and growth in Naples, which means more noise,” Tatigian said. “We all know there is a huge problem with modified mufflers and we need your help. Think of it, the inability to relax while sitting inside your own home. The noise and on your own property, the inability to have peace and quiet. I for one think it’s un-American.”
