I have occasionally seen road signs that say "No Jake Brakes". Could someone please explain why?

    *Strictly speaking a Jake Brake (http://www.jakebrake.com/) is
    made by Jacobs Vehicle Sytems and only found on semi's.  In this
    application they change valve timing so that the engine acts like
    an air compressor.  The energy needed to do this slows the truck
    and trailer. *

Noise - lots of noise.
