This section shall not apply to any noises or sounds caused by the tires of motor vehicles when the vehicle is engaged in an emergency situation where it is necessary to accelerate or stop the vehicle immediately or suddenly in order to avoid contact with another motor vehicle, or with a pedestrian, as long as the emergency situation is not that of the owner's making.
