I didn't find the noise level annoying while riding it. I know it has to meet government standards. In Michigan we have all-sports lakes and motor-free lakes. So those who want to get away from the noise have an alternative. Of course many of the big metro-area lakes are all-sport, but I would guess there are several hundred motor-free lakes in the tri-county area.
