This story reminds me of a bumper sticker on the back of a car. It reads"
"If I wanted to listen to your car's stereo, I would be sitting in your car next to you!"
I would love to get one of those stickers for my vehicle. Better yet would be a big sign that I could mount in the bed of my truck so that everyone could see it.
I would then like to get my hands on one of the Army's new Focused Sound devices that they are going to use for Crowd Controls. When I hear a vehicle coming down the road with the BASS so loud that it shakes my bones I would point the sound weapon at their car and burst some one's ear drums!
As you get older you get more sensitive to loud noises. And low frequency sound waves are more penetrating than higher frequency sound waves. Longer waves travel further as well.
We use to have a "NOISE ORDINANCE" and a motor cycle "CHIPS" cop that enforced the noise ordinance. If your muffler fell off and and you continued to drive making loud engine noises you would get a ticket. If your car stereo was too loud you would get a ticket. And if you rode a Motorcycle which was too loud you TOO would get a ticket from the cop riding the 1000 CC police "CHIP" motorcycle. That bike was too fast to outrun unless you took your bike off road. Those big 1000 cc Kawasaki Cycles didn't do very good off road. But on the Highway it was too fast for most street bikes to outrun. Besides it's more difficult to out run the radio if they get your bike license plate number.
Peace and quiet is one of the main reasons I like to go fishing.
