should there B a law for loud annoying car radio speaker music being blasted by people who think they are cool

Question

I will go nuts soon if they are going to be blasting all the time like that,and those people will be needing a hearing aid soon

Answer 1

Yea, the local Sound Ordinance should cover vehicles as well as houses. If you consistently see the same person with it too loud, you can call the cops on them. If it's bothering you that much, it's probably bothering lots of other people too.

Answer 2

I'm necroing this thread. As somebody who used to do it, and I won't speak on behalf of everyone. I did it because I liked my music loud. I liked the sound of the bass. I never had a problem with emergency vehicles, nor was I ever in any accidents. However, I never blasted music from my home to make my neighbors angry. I had some consideration. Every once in awhile I still do it, but now I turn it down at different times. I can see people getting angry about somebody blaring it from their homes 24/7, but if you're complaining about a vehicle that's going to be gone within a few seconds, either you're probably a miserable person with nothing to do but complain, or you need to soundproof your home. I love the above poster saying these people contribute nothing to society. You act as if you know what these people do with their lives all day long. A lot of my friends and I were heavily into that back in our teenage years and our early-mid 20's, and aside from noise pollution (yes, it's illegal, i get it), all of us were upstanding people who had no criminal records, helped around communities, and had full time jobs and were socially and morally responsible. Sorry that you have to be a crabass :(

Answer 3

There is in CA.

CA vehicle code

27007. No driver of a vehicle shall operate, or permit the
operation of, any sound amplification system which can be heard
outside the vehicle from 50 or more feet when the vehicle is being
operated upon a highway, unless that system is being operated to
request assistance or warn of a hazardous situation.
This section does not apply to authorized emergency vehicles or
vehicles operated by gas, electric, communications, or water
utilities. This section does not apply to the sound systems of
vehicles used for advertising, or in parades, political or other
special events, except that the use of sound systems on those
vehicles may be prohibited by a local authority by ordinance or
resolution.

Answer 4

yes, there should, there should be governers on volume settings for all new car stereos, and BIG FAT TICKETS for those over a certain decibel level.
when my car stereo is up loud enough to hear over the road noise, and my windows are up, and the windows of the moron's car are up and I his stereo is STILL drowning out mine, it's TOO DAMN LOUD.
I've seen these idiots disregard approaching emergency vehicles because they couldn't even hear the sirens when they were on top of them, much less from the block away it takes to have proper reaction time to clear a path.
Then again, I saw some idiot woman get pissed off at an intersection the other day when a fire truck ran a red light. do people even KNOW the traffic laws?

Answer 5

Most towns have a noise ordinance, which includes loud cars and motorcycles and their equally loud stereos. Typically, these laws state that a disruptive level of noise past a certain time of night is unacceptable and punishable by a fine or other legal penalty. Check your local ordinances, but remember it's summer and that everyone deserves to have some fun.

Answer 6

http://spkrbox1.spaces.msn.com/......... for real "sound" advice.

Your system won't mean squat without a well designed box to put your subs in. Some manufacturers have recommendations as to dimensions of various types of boxes. It is best to find someone who builds boxes if you go with something other than a sealed box.

You should always match up RMS (Root Mean Square) watts of Subs and amp per channel as well as impedance's(resistances).

If your amp is rated at 4Ω don't subject it to 2Ω, it will fry.

Here is the formula for subs in parallel:

Z = 1 / (1/sub1 + 1/sub2 + 1/sub3 + ....)

For series, just add them up (sub1 + sub2 + ...).

You can mix and match these equations to get the right impedance required by your amp.

Example: 4 subs @ 4Ω each. If I connect two in parallel and the other two in parallel and tie the two pairs in series, I would have a total impedance(resistance) of 4Ω. So to the amp, it's just one sub.

You should use a capacitor as well.

Recommend for every 500 watts MAX you use a .5 Farad cap
Example: 1000 watts MAX - 1 Farad cap

Try http://www.soundomain.com/shop you can find some really good deals, and this site is manufacturer certified. VERY IMPORTANT WHEN SHOPPING ON-LINE!!!

You will also need what's called a "line level converter" if your stock head unit doesn't have RCA outputs or your amp doesn't have high-level inputs.

If you like I can send you some plans for reference. My plans are for a 4-th order band pass bass box that holds two 12's. Also included are java calculators you can use to figure parallel and series values given Ω values.
Just e-mail me [e-mail]

My system

Blaupunkt TSw1200 subs with a Sony Xplōd XM2200GTX.
My amp is 1200 watts, subs are 600 watts each, cap is 1.2 Farad

SPL is about 112 db

Total cost(so far) = $410

Answer 7

There needs to be a law about cranky old people being in public. Listening to loud music is one of few healthy things that young people do. CAR RADIO MUSIC? Is that the hip term now? lmao

Answer 8

Many people are too stupid to realize there are laws restricting that kind of NUISANCE everywhere. The police like it that way. They may not ticket often, but they love the law because it gives them a lawful excuse to stop vehicles and check out the occupants. Can you say BUSTED?

Answer 9

I don't think I should have to be subjected to anyone else's music. I keep my music at a considerate level, and I expect other people to do the same. So yes. Bust them all. Through them in music h#ll and make them listen to their least favorite type of music for three weeks straight!

Answer 10

Most communites have laws governing such things. Unfortunately, most of the time a police officer must witness the violation.
