How is it a Public Health problem? It's noise. I agree it can be annoying but give it 20 seconds and you dont have to put up with it anymore. I am a motorcycle rider myself, I've put 50,000 Miles on my 05 Yamaha R1 (crotch rocket not a harley) and only 3 times I've been close to getting into an accident. All 3, OTHER people, NOT paying attention who "Didn't see me". Take away the exhaust noise you get people who cant see you or hear you. Drivers being oblivious to motorcycles has always been a problem. I can tell you one thing, I'm not taking my pipes off regardless of what comes of this. 3/4 of the people complaining about this haven't ever been on a bike in the first place.
