What you are referencing to is relevant to vehicle inspectors whom are doing a vehicle inspection in a shop.
as I stated before. POLICE OFFICERS don't require a DB test to confirm their suspicion on a loud vehicle.
As per to the document you are referring to it's main purpose is not what you are trying to do with it. Look under Offence and Punishments. do you really want to get charged like that? lol...
Quick google search : "The Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA), which was last significantly revised in 1993, regulates the manufacture and importation of motor vehicles as well as new tires and equipment used to restrain children and disabled persons inside the vehicle. "
And thanks your document clarifies that a police officer does have the authority to direct a vehicle to a designated inspection facility.
Yeah go ahead fail the vote ya haters.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. 7A.01 DOES NOT require an objective sound pressure measurement. Since it's intended to catch driver behavior, like revving your engine while stopped. The only point we're disagreeing with is that you are saying 7A.01 applies to a loud exhaust, while I'm saying it doesn't and only applies to driver behavior causing 'loud and unnecessary' noise, not simply for having a loud exhaust installed.
However, the second thing I want to point out is that even though we both agree that subjective noise is enough for issuing a 7A.01, the officers are still performing a noise test. The noise test they're using (see this photo on how they're doing it) isn't used for any MVA regulations or procedures, and isn't useful for checking against MVA 7 (27) (which defines passenger limits of 83db using the federal regs). So why are they doing it? Is it all for theatre?
