Underpowered scooters/mopeds can also be a huge problem (near me this is the main noise problem at night - usually food delivery drivers) - they get very noisy when they go a bit faster in a way more powerful motorbikes don't.
- masklinn 3y agoAround here it's definitely motorcycles, they have a completely different sound than delivery mopeds (which are almost nonexistent nearby), and they're speeding on the road just over.

- johnwalkr 3y agoScooters are often 2-stroke. They have centrifugal clutches so they need to be revved high to engage and accelerate. They are also cheap and a large portion seem to have failed mufflers. These three things make them particularly annoying even if they aren't the loudest things on the road.
- mschuster91 3y agoAnd they stink, which is even worse than the noise. Ever since my nose worked again after covid, I've gotten intensely sensitive to diesel, gas and two-stroke smoke - even a whiff is enough to send me into serious headaches.
