Sonic Disruption

Am I the only one who finds car stereo systems with bass that registers on the richter scale to be exceedingly annoying, to the point of nearly causing road rage? And I don't even drive!

You're not alone. They're annoying, on the road or not. I hate getting stuck near one at a light, you can feel the earth shake. But they're also a terror as they drive past my house late at night and the windows rattle.

Nah, just means you are getting old and cranky and have no patience or toleration for others.

Madison recently held a workshop to inform citizens on the correct steps to report and manage this problem. I think it's in here somewhere...http://www.noisepollution.org/lawlib/cities/madison.htm


It really only bothers me if they don't appropriately sound proof their trunk so you hear their license plate rattling 3 blocks before you hear their bass.

As my brother once called it, "music in the key of 'thump'."

You know it's going too far when a car's base is so cranked up that YOUR car shakes when the other car pulls up beside you at a stop light. :\

I've grown resistant to this problem. My neighbor two houses down has two cars with the super sub-woofers in his trunk, his girlfriend has one, as do his friends. The thump, thump, thump is so regular that I hardly even notice it anymore, even at 11:30pm when I'm going to sleep.

ooooo, another pet peave of mine (I'm full of them)!

A good stereo system in a vehicle doesn't have to leave the confines of the cabin. Even if the base is capable of rattling windows 200 meters away, it doesn't mean the driver must crank it up that loud.

Here are the reasons I can't stand this sort of behavior:

1) It is next to impossible to hear emergency vehicles.
2) I can't hear the oldies playing in my car!
3) I will not live under an airport flight path or next to a RR crossing because of the noise. Why then should I have to endure the neighborhood punks importing it to my house.
4) It's noise pollution, plain and simple. If you get a ticket for tossing the Micky-D's garbage from the window of your car, why not get a ticket for blasting the Hip-Hop garbage out the window too.

It's just plain inconsiderate, self-centered, immature behavior. I don't care what kind of music the guy next to me likes, and I certainly don't want it force fed to me. Because more often than not, they like crappy music.

I could go on, but lunch is ready.

Bye

Whenever I hear a car playing mega-bass I smile and pray for that person gets a visit from the incontinence faery. After all, it seems justified that those people should suffer the reprocussions for polluting my enjoyment with all that fecal matter they listen to.

Its called being deaf or hearing impaired.
