The roar of motorbikes passing through residential neighborhoods may become a lot of noise from their engines, and awaken all the children of the neighborhood in the past in France.

The mayor calls the new system "noise radar" and installed on a lighting pole in the center of the town of Villeneuve-le-Roi near Paris's Orly airport.

Mayor Didier Gonzalez said the system would be activated once a new government bill authorizing the use of such regulations was approved. The town will link audio recordings to police security surveillance cameras, allowing the regime to automatically charge fines for offenders.

"Noise from the poisons of modern life and a major health problem," he said. "It hurts people just like passive smoking."

France already has legislation limiting noise from vehicles but is difficult to enforce because it depends on police seizing individual offenders.
