Because excessive noise from light motor vehicles is a serious hazard to the public health, welfare and safety and the quality of life; and because a substantial body of science and technology now exists by which excessive noise from light motor vehicles may be substantially abated, and because the people have a right to and should be ensured an environment free from excessive noise that may jeopardize their health, welfare or safety or degrade the quality of life, it is the policy of the city to prevent excessive noise which may jeopardize the health, welfare or safety of its residents or degrade the quality of life.
