The "crackles and pops" is part of the muffler law, statute 169.69 but is only a part of the story.

The actual overall noise law for a greater than 2 wheel vehicle, under 10,000 lbs is defined by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The MPCA statute 7030.1060 provides a nice chart for your reference:



This noise rule is the very reason we are legally able to drive rally cars between stages on public roads without noise violations.
