John,

         Was just looking through the ORC and I found an answer for you.
Law 4513.221 Regulation of vehicle and engine noise ...Under B-1-b it
states that when operating at 35mph the maximum noise level and be no more
then 70 deciibels and over 35 it can not be more then 79 decibels. You can
look at it yourself online at
http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishing.com/revisedcode/. Hope that is of some
help for you.
