How does that make noise?

I don't think it does.

The loud Engine breaking that is usually outlawed is on Diesel engines.

Engine braking on your average car is not loud at all.

Thanks Captain Obvious. That's why the vid show a semi. To show how load an engine break can be and why the signs are posted. Yi was asking about why the signs are posted.

Higher RPMs, maybe? Not sure.

The exhaust system of the semi makes it really load. They are what is called a near straight pipe exhaust.

I suggest following the discussion.  The context that it can provide can be quite useful at times.  :)

Nope, I saw it. But Yi's question was in regards to the signs, which do not apply to cars, but to semi's.

But Iorm was responding to fhgksj;lksfd, who was clearly talking about passenger cars, not Yi.

QuoteSpeaking of engine braking, anyone know the reason for the "Trucks No Engine Braking" signs you sometimes see on the highway?

and Yi asked a specific question and was provided a specific example.

The one you're missing then is 313.  Fah and Iorm were having a separate conversation about engine braking of cars.  Mine, about semis, branched off of that.
