Just ban all private cars from the cities. They can park outside and take the train or bus. No more noise complaints.
Train or bus.... outside of London? Are you fucking having a laff, mate?

You know at my old house there was an ice cream van that made my life mildly more irritating as his chimes were on ear splittingly loud (guy must have drove with earplugs), and frankly I'd have loved it if somebody would have actually enforced the law (there is actually a law for ice cream van chimes) and an automated system like this would be one way!
The one near me plays something that used to be Popeye the Sailor Man, but now sounds like some Lovecraftian signal to wake an eldritch abomination from its slumber.

I think this will solve itself as the electrical vehicle transition happens. Cars will become substantially quieter by default and at that point it will easy to adjust MOTs for ICE vehicles to meet more stringent noise levels.
The problem is likely after market cars and that market will likely persist.
Am I right in thinking that these exhaust systems require drivers to inform their insurance company, because they change performance?

The louder the engine, the smaller the dick. I wish the same would happen here in the US. Those fuckers have self-esteem issues.
