Why Do Drivers Insist On Blasing Such Loud Music?   email this discussion to a friend?

I can't take it anymore!! When I'm sitting at the outdoor tables at Second Cup, cars go whizzing by, and they are blasting loud, and sometimes very obscene music. Don't these people realize they're creating noise polution, and making the world a more unpleasant place for everyone else? Why must they be so selfish? What's the appeal of music at literally eardrum-splitting levels?

And where can I get a sound-ray or something to aim at their cars to silence them, as they pass by me? LOL

Music sounds better when it's turned up loud!! Unfortunately some people's taste of music is poor. Blame obscene music on the Government for allowing it!! When dance music was popular in the 90s the media said people that listened to that music did drugs.... When most of the music does not even mention drugs, yet rappers can rap about smacking their hoes around and bustin' a cap in a dude's A$$.

I dislike that type of music completly. I hear that stupid music playing all of the time when car's go by here, wouldn't you think some people would think about the children in the neighborhood's. Some people do not want 5 year old's hearing such word's.

I have a fantasy of buying a pair of speakers for my next car and have them installed on the OUTSIDE, probably under the hood with the engine in front and under the trunk in back. Then when some loud cretin comes next to me, I flip the switch with Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture and stay as close to them as I discretely can. When that's over I'll switch to Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain."

Wagner did a good piece, too, that's nice and loud. Something about a ring, I think.

That's the kind of music to play loud. But not really when you are driving. People have run into emergency vehicles when they were playing their entertainment loud and the emergency vehicles had their sirens going. It is really a safety issue.

How about motorcycles with obviously ineffective mufflers? Do you have that in Canada as well?

haha! I have 'done' the 1812 whilst beside a car full of young lads blasting "thud-thud" music at the traffic lights. They were so surprised that the driver stalled when the lights changed... so he also lost the opportunity to cut me up!


myLot reputation of 96/100. jwfarrimond (3266)   ranked 1,990 out of 8,279 in listening to music  3 years ago

Pretty good happy I've used the 1812 to blast noisy neighbours before now, but I'm not sure that I could stand Wagner at full blast myself sad

I'm sorry but I think they really don't care if they are bothering others unfortunately. I'm not sure what the appeal of having it so loud that it vibrates the ground and windows everywhere you drive passed. And they are making themselves deaf in the process, something they may not notice until later in life but still, you'd think they'd at least think now and again!

We often say," If I was listening to music like that, I wouldn't want people to know!!"
Maybe we should have noise sensors similar to speed cameras.You know, the ones that flash up to tell you your speed as you approach. I suspect some people dont realise how loud it sounds to others.
I do sometimes 'test' how loud my music sounds outside the car by leaving it turned on when I get out at home. I can easily hold a conversation with my neighbours whilst its playing and they have never mentioned any problem with the noise as I drive in and, trust me, I know from experience that if there was a problem - with anything, one of them would certainly have told me by now!

There's only one reason they're doing that. They're deaf! And they think that the road is their own. They must never been in your position.

Today with human rights and civil rights movements,the people are actually spiraling down into anarchy.The law is more liberal as many things are no longer criminalized.If you do not like what another citizen is doing, you would have to bring a civil suit against him for disturbing your peace or causing him mental and emotional anguish.Sometimes, it is best not to go to such places if you do not want to be bombarded nby such uncultured citizens. They are out for fun and they do not need your blessings!

I must say, what a frank answer. Getting involve with such serious comment. Although you make a very good point, It is a free country after all and nobody needs anyone to tell them what to do.

What an interesting view my friend. Well, what i can say is that these "LOUD MUSIC BLASTING DRIVERS" are just trying to attract people as they drive by to show off their car, possibly attracting those chicks or they just like pissing everyone off with their sound system. Alot of reasons, well i for one do it so yeah hehehe. try sometimes its fun.


myLot reputation of 96/100. realan (371)   ranked 1,150 out of 8,279 in listening to music  3 years ago

Yes, usually the cars blasting the music are sporty and the guys driving them want attention.wink I really don't have a problem with it. The only problem I have is when they are blasting down my street at 1am! angry

lol, that does get very annoying. i have my music loud-ish at home, but i don't understand how people do it when they're driving, surely it just puts them off? alot of the ones i see/hear are really beaty music, like it makes the floor vibrate lol. it's pointless really. not really sure you can buy anything to stop it though!

Personally I think that they are morons who do it just to annoy everyone else. Either that or they just don't care. I remember once I pulled up alongside one of these morons at a stoplight. I was on my bike, so I was getting the full bast of the racket (I'll not call it music) I leaned over and said to the driver "Do you actually like that racket?" The noise was so much that he could not hear what I was saying, so he turned it off. I promptly said "Do you actually like that racket? Because I can tell you, no-one else does!"

Then the lights changed and I pulled away leaving them standing there at the light! lol Actually, I was not as polite as that, but MyLot won't allow me to put what I actually did say!

It's a real problem the world over. We were on holiday in Malta, strolling and enjoying the scenery when our eardrums were assaulted by dreadful music as a car with two young lads in passed us. 5 minutes later, we saw the same car pulled over by the police. Mercifully, the music was turned off, and the driver had an on the spot fine, as the policeman said he was driving without due care and attention. Perhaps we should all move to Malta, if we can't get hold of a silencing ray?


myLot reputation of 96/100. realan (371)   ranked 1,150 out of 8,279 in listening to music  3 years ago

Wow they give fines for this in Malta! The police in my town would make loads of money if they did that here! w00t

well, there's young people for you. i personally(being 18, I'm YOUNG) i hate blasting the music really. no one really needs to listen to the music you listen to anyway, right? i like some volume to music but not to the point that it will kill your ears over.
