Does anyone else feel this way?
You know I just thought of a funny story.
Last summer I was cruising down Lundy's Lane in my 'teg with my system up loud enough that I could hear it and people on sidewalk could hear it but if you had your windows up on a lincoln you wouldn't hear much.
Anyway these two guys in a F250 lawn construction site were beside me telling me to turn it up (if I recall I was listening to a new Eminem song at the time) and my stereo wouldn't go any louder
But they were rocking on anyway.
heh. Everone has different tastes, and I suppose if those of you who like harleys with straight pipes get told off you dont like it. Nor do those of you who do other things that make ridiculous noise. Noise is noise, not everyone likes other peoples noise.
But laws against it? Give me a break. Go bust some Drunk drivers, or some people with outstanding warrants. Or people who are bad drivers in general. I cant stand people who cant drive. (You know who you are)

There are music laws here, if you can hear it at 70ft, its illegal. My personal opinion is - how loud does your music have to be to hear it?! I am partially deaf and I don't even need it that loud. I don't care what kind of music it is - If I can hear it from more than 70 ft it (expletive) me off. Exhaust noise is a whole different story.

Colossus: You dont like the sound of a V12 Benz or Jag revvin? mmmmmmmmmm
Or a lambo or ferrari? I love Euro cars. Bugatti is probably my favourite.
http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame...num=1076&left=
Engine 90º W16
7.993 liter / 487.8 cu in
1001 bhp / 746.7 kW @ 6000 rpm
Top Speed 252.3 mph / 406.0 km/h
So an almost 8L 16cyl. engine isn't cool? This is Euro.
I love this car
I just dont see one in my future anytime soon.

My last post to this:
There are laws, they are usually under "Noise Pollution". I work at a manufacturing plant, we are in a heavy manufacturing area of town. There is a mobile home park 120 yards from here. We got nailed by the city for noise pollution before 7am. These laws are usually effective from 9pm to 7am. At 7, we can make as much noise as we want. Typically, the designation is 15dbs more than normal noise, i.e normal traffic, wind, etc.

Ok...
I am using the V8 as an example, because it has a good chug.
V12 Jag's are crappy cars that you can't get parts for, and they're driven by yuppies that have nothing better to spend their money on.
V16's are not on the road yet, at least here. So I haven't had the chance to listen to them yet.
The car pictured there isn't the V16 I saw. The one in Car&Driver mag is a 12L V16 - with 1,000hp. (not enough in my opinion)
Lamborghini's and Ferrari's (and any Italian car for example) whine to (expletive) much, although its slightly better than a riceburner.
In general, if its low pitched, I'm cool with it.
If it remotely sounds like a riceburner - it should be destroyed.

Anything high pitched.
I am sorry. I am biased against anything small and high pitched, that includes small children.
I like big and/or low pitched, like battleship boilers, nuclear reactors, and American V8's.

What about a 460 with a turbo? would the whine of the tubro spooling up make you mad? Cause i think it would be awsome.

Thank you that is exactly what I was trying to say.
For instance where I grew up they built a Harley store in the middle of town and there was a neighborhood behind it. everyone got mad about the harleys cruising around town being all loud so they enacted a noise ordanace now several of my friends have been ticketed in their cars and trucks even though they aren't that loud.

This thread was about the AIR & GROUND VIBRATING <> EAR BLEEDING <> Power Sound Mega Bass of people's Stereo Sub Woofer's in their cars.
It is Not about Exhaust noise from a vehicle.

Personally, I believe, to each his own. I definately don't think laws should be passed for this nonsense. If they pass noise laws based on db levels, then alot of our trucks would be ticketed. Not to mention lawn mowers and weedeaters. California has already banned the use of gas trimmers in some areas. I have listened to music from soft to very loud. It all depends on the mood I'm in. There are much more important issues facing our people to day than this sort of drivel....
