The use of modified exhausts (knalpot brong) has become a widespread social issue in Pontianak City, generating excessive noise pollution that disrupts public tranquility and environmental well-being. This research examined the characteristics of law enforcement against knalpot brong, analyzed the normative framework under Law Number 22 of 2009 on Traffic and Road Transportation, and identified the obstacles faced by the Pontianak City Police in its implementation. Employing normative-empirical legal research with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, the findings revealed that law enforcement was conducted through preventive measures (education and socialization) and repressive measures (ticketing, seizure, and destruction of modified exhausts). However, significant obstacles remained, including the absence of sound level meters for objective measurement, limited technical standards, low public legal awareness, and the prevalence of vehicle modification culture. The research recommended strengthening technical regulations, providing measurement instruments, intensifying education, and fostering cross-sectoral collaboration to create sustainable public order in Pontianak City.
