Amid a row over use of loudspeakers at religious places, the Mumbai police have requested automobile manufacturers to lower the sound limit of vehicle horns, in accordance with the Supreme Court`s directions on noise pollution, an official said.
Currently, the volume of vehicle horns is in the range of 92 to 112 decibels, which violates the apex court`s guidelines, he said. "We recently held a meeting with various automobile manufactures and asked them to reduce the sound of vehicles horns in order to check the noise pollution," he said.
