Unfortunately ATV noise is not something you can attentuate. The high frequency exhaust noise seems to penetrate most materials. Those that it doesn't penetrate it will get past and bounce off.
The wooden walls along highways are mostly rated for tire-related noise, not engine or other sounds. Back home our DOT found that for highways, simply changing the direction of the broomed-concrete finish before it cured from straight down the roadway to swshing it back and forth to running it perpendicular to the road drastically changed one frequency of sound but caused or enhanced another. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to deal with it. Me, I don't mind it. But like Murf, I like those things with engines (not quoting per batum)! Ar-ar-argh!

Murf, that's a good story to live by.
BUT--what does the "average guy" do when things don't work out to one's advantage, I mean not every one is as saavy or has the connections like you (don't wanna pump up your head TOO much)?
And I'm sure you're aware that with some exceptions Canadians are not like Americans when it comes to our rights (or wrongs as the case may be) when it comes to carp like this. I realize I tend to be in the minority when it comes to making noise--call it consideration, or common decency. It is just my sense of doing the right thing to not ruffle my neighbor's feathers. When I was an avid ATV'er I would ask the neighbors if they had a problem with me riding in their area. Most were embarassed FOR me that I'd even ask (but they and I know they would be the first one to call the cops if I hadn't asked them) I found if I asked first I never had a problem. But there again, I was not raised like so many are now that "it's easier to get forgiveness than it is permission"
BTW, how's my manlift's journey coming--should be in Nashville (the halfway point) by now eh? What? It's in BC? And you're using it for bungee jumping? WEll at least one of us getting some use out of it.

Murf just give me the bill when you bring the lift. I'm sure it will be the same-- within a couple dollars. 
Reminds me of my neighbor back in the hinterland, you know the kind: they won't pay for or rent the right equipment to the job themselves, but have no qualms about using yours for free. She decides that she wants her big pine trees trimmed so they don't keep rubbing on the power lines. I tell her "Ssure! Go ahead and use it 'til your heart's content--no charge" (incidentally her husband AND son ran these so they are both capable). Instead she says "Oh no! I want YOU to do it because I don't want THEM to get electrocuted". Well isn't THAT nice as long as Jeffy gets fried! Trees still aren't trimmed. Like the mexicans would say, "Not my yob"

I've been told by neighbors (who are contractors also so they didn't care THAT much) that they can hear my backup alarm on my loader. It's a half mile away and separated by heavy woods. A good OSHA-approved one runs about $50-$100. Priceless when attached to the lawn mower that has to be used back and forth back and forth
Any ideas on how to get rid of %#$#$ that like to blast their car stereos at all hours? I heard there was a way to shoot a beam of energy to the vehicle that will wipe out the electricals, but the guy said it was too illegal and didn't want to be responsible for "other" collateral damage such as "any" electrical circuits in the area.
