I ride and do "feel" the sentiment that loud pipes might help in some situations. But here's a rider-centric article that helps address the situation _and_ provide some actionable advice.

Thanks, that article makes lots of good sense. I see more and more riders (on relatively quiet bikes) drive with high visibility gear, especially on the highway, which is great.

But those are rarely the 'loud' types, they're just people using their bikes as transport rather than as an attention seeking device.
