This paper analyzes the rationale behind the federal regulation of interstate motor carrier noise. At highway speeds, tire noise is frequently predominant. At low speeds, engine-related noise is predominant. The effects of both these noise sources are considered. The question of enforceability of the regulation is also discussed. /SAE/
