To be fair, they said “moving car”. They’re correct; cars moving at high speed produce significantly more tyre noise than engine noise. Larger vehicles have much more engine noise, so the speed at which tyre noise dominates is also higher.
No I haven’t, because where I live we’ve outlawed using jake brakes within cities due to the noise - except when adequate muffling is installed. Again we’re talking about cars, not trucks, so jake brakes aren’t relevant anyway.
