It's not the actual engine brake that's the issue it's all the Billy Big Riggers with the more than likely Illegal exhaust system mods that are the problem.
Many are the night I had to put up with that dam racket trying to get a decent nights sleep in a truck stop when one of those clowns pulled next to me and just had to run the engine at 1/2 throttle, for whatever reason I will never know, on a nice, perfect sleeping weather spring evening.
My rig (2015 Ram 3500) when using the engine brake, which BTW is very seldom, one can barely hear it when in use.
Does really come in handy though in the mountains when going down a long grade.
Rant over....
