BANDUNG - The West Java Regional Police has destroyed as many as 4,599 noisy exhausts as a form of commitment to maintaining public order and comfort while reducing noise pollution in the West Java region.
Director of Traffic of West Java Police Kombes Raydian Kokrosono said that the destruction was proof of the seriousness of the police in regulating the use of non-standard exhaust or brong exhaust, which has been considered disturbing residents.
"Today we are carrying out the destruction of non-standard exhaust or what is often called brong exhaust. This is the result of the action of traffic members in the West Java Police and the police ranks. The number is approximately 4,599 pieces and has been destroyed," said Raydian in Bandung, Antara, Wednesday, February 18.
Raydian explained that the thousands of noisy exhausts that were destroyed were the result of a series of actions since Operation Zebra Lodaya 2025 which continued until early February 2026.
According to him, the action against non-standard exhaust will not stop and will actually continue to be improved, especially before Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, to ensure that the security and public order situation remains conducive.
Raydian emphasized that the use of noisy exhausts is not merely a traffic violation, but also has an impact on social aspects. The noise generated can trigger the emotions of road users and residents around.
"Noise can increase the emotions of the listener, including other drivers. From there, friction and even social conflicts can arise. This is what we prevent," he said.
He also highlighted the phenomenon of the use of brong exhaust among young people. Based on the results of the enforcement carried out by the police, the majority of users of noisy exhausts come from students.
Furthermore, Raydian said that his party was currently compiling the origin of the production of non-standard exhaust and coordinating with the local government so that its circulation could be suppressed from upstream.
"We are taking this step to curb and destroy to reduce noise pollution in West Java while maintaining a safe and comfortable situation for all communities," he said.
