Please keep all your OHVs quiet.
Here is a statement from the AMA...

Salem, Ore.— Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is seeking public comment on proposed changes to sound and safety equipment rules for All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) use on public lands in Oregon. House Bill 2232 was signed on March 19, 2025, and became effective upon passage. The bill transfers rulemaking responsibility for ATV safety equipment and noise emissions from Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD).

State Parks has temporarily adopted ODOT and DEQ’s rules for 180 and is taking public comment on proposed permanent rules. Public comments on the proposed rule change will be accepted through 5 p.m., Aug. 31, and can be submitted:
