So I don’t hear the increasingly worrying noises coming from various parts of the car.
Almost didn’t hear my tire pop 30 min ago because of music. Should have turned it louder instead of stopping because now I have to deal with it
I see we think alike. If you don’t notice a problem, there isn’t one.
You should install a fog machine. It could come in handy.
Two eye patches, ear plugs, might as well throw some ear plugs in your nose too.
This guy lemmy’in while driving what a champ
How do you have two extra spare tyres to use?
Found the Saab owner
Because it’s a fun hobby to build systems capable of doing that and seeing just how loud you can get them, granted my group is the only one in town that only uses them deep in agricultural fields so we dont burst people’s eardrums. Regarding people that use them in cities, especially at night, i am absolutely with you.
Long ago I built up car stereos. Mainly for fidelity, but that cane along with bass, not for bass or volume’s sake. But with the same behavior as you, I would never turn it up in a populated area, and it was in fact tuned for depth not volume.
I agree with OP, but not many of the negative replies. There is a time and place for all hobbies.
Same reason children cry, they want attention.
Almost every explanation given in this comment section boils down to “I’m a selfish prick who only cares about what I’m doing in that moment. Fuck the lot of ya”
From Lullaby by Palahniuk:
"People who would never throw litter from their car will drive past you with their radio blaring. People who’d never blow cigar smoke at you in a crowded restaurant will bellow into their cell phone. They’ll shout at each other across the space of a dinner plate.
These people who would never spray herbicides or insecticides will fog the neighborhood with their stereo playing Scottish bagpipe music. Chinese opera. Country and western.
Outdoors, a bird singing is fine. Patsy Cline is not.
Outdoors, the din of traffic is bad enough. Adding Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E Minor is not making the situation any better.
You turn up your music to hide the noise. Other people turn up their music to hide yours. You turn up yours again. Everyone buys a bigger stereo system. This is the arms race of sound. You don’t win with a lot of treble.
This isn’t about quality. It’s about volume.
This isn’t about music. This is about winning.
You stomp the competition with the bass line. You rattle windows. You drop the melody line and shout the lyrics. You put in foul language and come down hard on each cussword.
You dominate.
This is really about power."
Outdoors, a bird singing is fine
Disagree. Nobody wants to hear you shouting from the treetops about how you want sex, a-hole. Fuck birds.
a-hole
Fuck birds
How do you decide when to censor yourself or not?
I wasn’t censoring myself, I was speaking casually. I’d have said asshole if I were going for a more formal vibe
its not that deep I just like my music loud and to feel the bass
The above piece isn’t trying to give a deep reason for your actions: that would be ridiculous. You have proved that true with your post.
What the post is trying to convey is how other people feel about your selfish “it feel good to me (sic)” invading their space and awareness.
Be a better one person than this. Do you realize how much noise pollution negatively affects the most vulnerable in our communities the most?
I absolutely understand listening to music loud: it can sound better. I use headphones while at home that ensure I can listen as loud as I like, WITHOUT BOTHERING ANOTHER FUCKING BEING.
Try to to process the actual content here, and find a way to enjoy your shit without annoying others.
The people around you don’t.
The way I do it is to sound good in the car. If you can even hear it at all with the doors closed that’s by accident not design. I don’t go nuts with 4 dual coil 18s in a civic hatchback either though so I’m probably not the best one to answer. 🤷
You can definitely hear it. You can hear someone on a voice call or talk radio pretty clearly just walking near them.
But this is really asking about the cars you can hear coming down the block that sounds like they’re trying to work out sore muscles with their subwoofers.
I like to feel the vibrations and a car is the most efficient space to have that environment in.
Because the soul is quiet, and it hides the flounder.
Fun fact, loud bass sounds louder outside a car than inside. They’re literally trying to blow out their own ears but missing.
Ummm… no
Uhhh. What?
My guess is theyre talking about the energy grom their speakers being wasted on mechanical energy vibrating the entire vehicle and structures in direct vicinity, vs more efficient speakers that focus the energy into sound waves that go straight up in the air where your ears can catch em
The subs will end up making the entire vehicle vibrate like one giant speaker?
That’s not how speakers work.
Can’t pump up music at home, too many nosy neighbours
I like feeling my music as well as hearing it
It’s a cheap and easy thrill
It sounds cool to hear the low notes and it’s easier to have a good sounding stereo in a small area that’s fully upholstered. Loud music covers up the road noise.
It’s cool to listen to music loud.
Same reason why you would fire a gun in confined space. It makes deaf fasters, so you don’t have to listen to the shit music you are forced to listen due to peer pressure.
They have speakers that point outside the window… Yeah make sense with that.
“hey look free speakers!”
They’re chasing that high and excitement that a rockstar feels when they blare music on stage. Sometimes at car shows or downtown parking lots they got tons of encouragement.
But I do feel you fr fr.
So you can know how cool they are, obviously! Same with loud engines.
So you can know how
cool theysmall their penises are, obviously!I always joke with my partner when we see a midlife-crisis sports car: “His dick works great!”
with loud engines.
I thought that was a secret code to other gays that you’re not out yet but wanted to meet
Maybe that was just because I associate them with giant pickup trucks
