There's no doubt that the Be Loud aspect is a big reason for the opposition to keeping the speed limit as-is. It's kind of funny that the folks who want to increase the limit keep ignoring/dismissing this and asserting that safety is the ONLY reason, then through up a whole bunch of smoke around safety.
They could include a limit on noise within the proposal, and that may get them more votes.
I wouldn't use the previous argument as number 4 is not going to be improved with higher rates of travel.
