Modified exhaust, loud stereos, and prolonged engine idling in South Jordan are regulated by Title 5 Chapter 3 and Utah Code §41-6a-1626 (muffler requirements).
Vehicle noise violations in South Jordan are enforced under the local noise ordinance and state motor vehicle code. Utah Code §41-6a-1626 requires every motor vehicle to have a muffler in good working order preventing excessive or unusual noise, and prohibits muffler cutouts or bypasses. Modified exhaust ('straight-piped') motorcycles and vehicles drawing attention with rapid acceleration (engine revving) in residential areas are common citation targets. Car stereos audible 50+ feet from the vehicle are typically presumptively unreasonable. Idling diesel trucks for extended periods in neighborhoods can draw citations during quiet hours.
