Less hostile when in context.

I was going to link a comic but it’s only available on installation and The Platform Formerly Known As Twitter so I’m not gonna
Go internet
Just screenshot and reupload?
Probably would’ve taken less time than the whiny comment
But I like complaining

And car sound systems.
I’ll say that so much of this is unnecessary or even BS. Ban loud cars because they’re annoying, that’s all that is necessary. Set a decibel limit and if you exceed it then you can be fined. Set time limits like when most people are sleeping so you can have loud cars at some more reasonable times and ban them when people aren’t expecting stupidly loud noises.
Most cities already have noise ordinances. But as usual owning a car gives you situational immunity to the law.
This was the line of thought I had as well, it should be so easy to stop this problem as it stands
You can say this about the whole topic of car centricity. It is easy to solve. It’s just not wanted.
Points 1-9 are empirically proven effects of noise, none of them are BS. Point 10 is an arbitrary opinion.
Points 1-9 being empirically proven is still a BS argument unless you’re also supporting banning all loud noises. Using it as a justification for banning loud cars when we are around loud sounds elsewhere.
But what about that one dude who wants to go rrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRR at three in the morning and wake up everyone in a five mile radius?
Take his license.
Or the dude who installed a cheap car alarm himself and it goes off all the time because somebody is gonna steal his 15 year old Civic
Or when these two idiots team up and guy one sets off the alarm of guy two.
Anybody else remember the trucker convoy protestors? Good times.
Imagine trying to ban trucks from the cities.
Many places around me have banned Jake braking.
Very similar arguments apply for church bells, too.
On vehicles modified for sporting purposes the silencers no longer work because the propagation of sound is different and therefore db-killers are applied or it is avoided to drive them around the city center or during off hours. Then there are people who purposely remove the silencer just to make noise and this also reduce factory performance, these deserve to have their license withdrawn because they take advantage of the fact that noisy vehicles occasionally exist.
I moved to an apartment adjacent to an intersection on a medium-high traffic stroad and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I have never been so stressed. I can barely even enjoy music now because half the time if I hear bass in a song I think its coming from outside and I get annoyed for a few seconds.
Cars are already subject to noise restrictions. So effectively loud cars are banned. There is just little enforcement for most of it.
