The authority says the loudest vehicle recorded reached almost 114 decibels, which is equivalent to the volume of a rock concert.
334 Fixed Penalty Notices were issued in August and September for nuisance driving.
Kensington and Chelsea was the first authority in the country to pilot its own acoustic cameras.
Cllr Johnny Thalassites, Lead Member for Resident Services, Planning and Enforcement, said:
“Imagine trying to sleep, settle your children or simply relax at home with noise comparable to a rock concert or a chainsaw suddenly erupting outside your window. That gives you some idea of what residents can be subjected to when drivers decide to rev their engines or race through our streets.
“One vehicle was recorded at almost 114 decibels, and our cameras were being triggered around 23 times a day over the summer. These are shocking numbers and they show exactly why we have invested in these cameras.
“They allow us to catch nuisance driving even when an officer isn’t present, and more than 330 fines in two months shows we are acting on the evidence. Our message to drivers is simple – you’ll pay the price if your vehicle unnecessarily disturbs our residents.”
Kensington and Chelsea was the first council in the country to pilot its own acoustic camera technology in 2020, following complaints from residents about noisy vehicles in Sloane Street and Pont Street. During the initial pilot, the cameras were triggered almost 2,000 times.
A borough-wide Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) prohibits behaviour including engine revving, rapid acceleration, racing and vehicle stunts where they cause a public nuisance.
Breaches can result in a £100 FPN.
The latest figures follow further action against nuisance vehicles this summer, including a High Court injunction secured with Westminster City Council and the Metropolitan Police to tackle late-night car meets affecting parts of Kensington and Chelsea.
