Dr Richardson is right that Harley Davidson motorcycles are too loud [“Summer rant,” BCMJ 2012;54:321 [9]]. Movie theatres present another noise issue. I wear earplugs when I go to a movie because the intensity of the sound during the trailers is painful. A while ago I sent an e-mail inquiry to the Canadian Pediatric Society asking if they had guidelines about the decibel level to which children are exposed in public spaces. At that time they did not have a guideline about the subject.
