The noise is a big big issue for dirt bikes and ATV's and such. One guy on
an ATV or snowmobile destroys the wilderness for miles around them for
everyone else trying to enjoy it. That's one of the biggest reasons I
support banning them from the national forests and such. If they were
silent... I wouldn't really mind them all that much. Yes, there's the air
pollution too... but that's more of a slow effect that can be ignored for a
while rather than causing immediate infuriation like the noise.
