Reece Gaines loves his loud Audi RS3 Quattro.
On TikTok he shows the sound of the car.
But is that really the Audi?
The combustion engine is still very popular with many customers and could also get a second chance from the EU.
Car fans especially love it because of its sound, which awakens their emotions.
However, the exhaust shouldn't be too loud, otherwise you'll get in trouble with the authorities.
A problem that the TikToker b58lol, whose real name is Reece Gaines, also knows.
His Audi RS3 Quattro also seems to be a little too loud for law enforcement in Florida.
“I don’t know why they keep giving me tickets for my car and it’s not even that loud,” you can hear in the video on the social media platform.
TikToker brags about engine sound: Exhaust must not be louder than 79 dB
Then he gets into the Audi RS3 Quattro and switches on the engine.
A powerful sound immediately comes from the tailpipes.
The roar can still be clearly heard behind the car.
Supposedly that's how the sound is supposed to be, at least that's what it says in the picture.
At least the European version can reach 98 dB when stationary, which is about as loud as a wood milling machine.
While driving, the level drops to 71 dB and thus meets EU requirements.
According to the portal floridacarlwas,
limits of 72 to 79 dB also apply in Florida
.
Sound doesn't belong to the Audi RS3: Does it come from an Infinity Q50 or BMW M4?
However, the sound probably doesn't belong to the 400 hp five-cylinder Audi RS3 Quattro, but to the golden Infinity Q50 from TikToker Avvronn.
He made a similar video in 2022.
Like b58lol, he also lives in the US state of Florida.
Some users also think they can hear a BMW M4.

But that doesn't seem to bother the TikTok users under Gaines' video, as the comments under the video show:
“Everything is standard, I haven’t modified anything.
I bought it like that!”
“Nice subtle sound.
But it would be a bit too quiet for me.”
“5L of petrol gone.”
“The favorite neighbor!”
“TÜV says no!
“It’s the sound of an Infinity!”

No matter which car this sound a ticket is probably available everywhere.
In California, special noise cameras were purchased for this purpose.
Since 2023, these devices have also been tested at some intersections in Berlin.
