Adelaide’s city council is eyeing high-tech acoustic cameras to silence the roar of hoon drivers—vehicles blasting noise above legal limits, especially on quiet nights and weekends. These sound-sensing cameras snap license plate photos of offenders, with Victoria already testing seven units. Residents in O’Connell and Hutt Streets say the constant racket disrupts sleep and peace, often from modified bikes that dominate noise violations. Each camera could cost $50K+, plus maintenance, but the plan starts with warnings before fines kick in. A final report is due by November 2026 as council debates whether to roll out this tech downtown.
