    That sound you heard was you just opening a can of worms. lol
    (there are a handful of posters on here that have VERY strong feelings on the topic)

    good idea not putting it in the title. if you turn it off, keep in mind it is a legal requirement, not an option.

    no, by law. there are methods a bit more involved though. the law took affect a few years ago, but toyota started installing them in 2012

    I prefer if neither myself nor my kids get run over or backed over by silent cars, from users that have illegally modified them to reduce our safety. So definitely don't turn it off or muffle it.
