Why Is It That Too Many Motocross Bikes Are Just Too Damned Loud?

Almost every motocross bike I've ever ridden or been around has just been too damned loud because of the exhaust systems. You don't need that much of wide open "bad ass" sounding muffler to go dirt-bike riding, unless you're so insecure that you're trying to impress someone or you're riding in traffic where you shouldn't be and want to ensure that operators of other vehicles see you - why not yet your motocross gear do that? I have always been annoyed when riding in the woods that all the animals are scared away. It's far more productive to take 10 to 20 times as long to cover the same amount of ground on foot and have some type of relationship with nature other than intrusive and destructive. We all know how the specialized tires chew of the dirt, killing tender plants and causing erosion. Because of the choice of machine and the way they're built the dirt biker, unless he or she is riding indoors is definitely not a friend of nature or the environment. In fact, I'd go as far as to suggest that owners of the bikes should have to obtain some type of permit to allow them the blow the excessive amount of exhaust in the atmosphere and to destroy flora and terrain. If you do not think dirt bikes are disruptive and loud then perhaps you have never ridden one, been around one or are stone deaf. Thank you.
