Summary
Austin’s new loud engine ordinance, rolled out after months of resident complaints, saw zero enforcement in its first three months despite nearly 95 overtime hours spent on patrols. Police admit they’re still figuring out why the rule went unused, while community advocates say the problem persists—just now happening later in the day. The department is now considering expanding the noise rules to include landscaping equipment and plans to keep engaging with residents, but for now, the peace many hoped for remains elusive.
