Why? Because we can. Because it annoys you, and because we don't like you.
And yes, I do, in all seriousness, mean that.
You are the most pure form of everything I don't like.

I might also suggest that that 30hz being projected for 3 blocks, does serve
a purpose. Modern music isn't about the words, or hearing the instruments
clearly. It's about the beat. If you stick the Bass and Trebel up quiet
heavily, You can still clearly hear the beat.

My next point, is that you can project 30hz sound waves for three blocks and
still get balanced music, simply by having higher frequency up as well. The
difference is, that higher frequencies will not carry well over a longer
distance, as the sound wave dies off after a certain number of cycles. If
the cycle is smaller (Higher frequency) Then obviously, it goes a shorter
distance.

I guess my real point is ... We don't like you. Go away.

HEY!
I live near an interstate overpass; two houses away actually.
Trucks test their brakes over the bridge at all hours of the night.
I'm not sure how necessary those J brake systems are, I mean after
all those trucks are making money (they wouldn't do it if they weren't)
so couldn't they afford to invest in some quiter electric brakes ?
I should certainly be able to make as much noise as that. I'm not
even getting paid for it.

HARLEY RIDERS: Are you _trying_ to annoy people in their homes or
prove a point that "cager" society needs to understand? Is it part of
your worldview that anyone who doesn't ride a motorcycle lacks
fundamental coolness, and is too uptight about the racket you make?
These questions don't apply to those who limit their noise to areas
where the public is unaffected, so let's not go off on the old
"blanket-labeling" tangent to distract from this nationwide problem.

When it's late I usually roll the bike out onto the road before I
start it up, and I always warm up the engine on the road, so I just
putt putt along for the first mile or so anyhow. By the time I get to
your neighborhood the bike is all warmed up, and I think nothing of
screaming down the road. See how that works, I get tremendous value
in fun and excitement from rolling on the throttle, and I didn't even
wake the kids when I left. F you and your neighbors.

Saying that cars can't hear you without extreme pipes is a
clever self-serving defense, but it can't be the main reason.

Loud pipes save lives. I've gone through intersections were I
can't get a visual from the person about to pull out and run me over.
If it's necessary I rev it up real loud, and sure enough people tend
to look all around when it sounds like a big truck is bearing down on them.

Well, that could be a problem. See, when I buy aftermarket mods for
my cage or my bike, I tend to avoid multi-thousand dollar pieces of
shiny metal that do nothing for performance. So if you honestly
believe that you can catch up to any of the well-tuned performance
machines that I drive/ride, please feel free to have a go. With any
luck you'll find yourself in too-close-proximity to a diesel spill and
end up painting the road a nice, shiny (albeit sticky) red.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you're one of those
disgruntled yuppie ****s who thinks that shiny metal and loud noises
are the denoumement of Western Civ. That's cool. Whatever you have
to do to abate the gnawing pain of a miserable marriage made tolerable
only with liberal doses of budweiser and viagra. But don't sweat it
too much when the 99% of the rest of road users find your bleating,
whining pipes and ****-poor lane-splitting skills a little too much to
bear.

As for any suggestion that I go to a harley bar and make these
statements, where I come from, bars that cater to men in leather have
never ranked on my To Do list.

There's a time and place for everything. If you live on the strip, expect to
hear bass Saturday night. Young men are going to put money into their cars,
whether it's under the hood or in the trunk. I personally believe that
there's a difference between cranking it up Saturday night and Sunday
morning, however. My stereo gets cranked up on the interstate, and turned
down at intersections.

In Norman Oklahoma, the noise ordinance is that anything that can be heard
"more than 50 feet away" is illegal, and violators can be fined and even
thrown in jail. I've never seen a Harley that I couldn't hear from 50 feet
away, or a stock stereo, for that matter.

It's people like you guys that obviously don't care about anyone else but

stereo ordinances. Then you moan and complain that the f-ing cops are out
there harassing you. Believe me guys, even though you obviously outnumber
myself and Enough Already on this board, it's not that way in real life.

And as far as exhaust noise goes? Most states have laws regarding
excessive
noise in this regard. So for the person that posted that he's an American

I personally have more tolerance than Enough Already for these sorts of

Decent people don't make all that noise in the _first place_, and if

CAR BOOMERS: Do you think you'll get more girls if you play "badass"

Audio-wise, true music fans know that boom bass drowns out clarity.

When you sit and idle your bikes for many minutes is it weak oil

you mostly want people to see you as rebels; the endless high-school

youth who might become criminals without a "hobby" doesn't cut it
either. Plenty of hobbies are far less obnoxious. Obnoxious people are
drawn to disruptive activities, so it's about YOU, not just what you

here is my 0.02cents.

Harley riders= White trash, they cant come to face the truth that
their bikes run on world war 1 and 2 technology, thus they have SLOW
motorcycles. Harleys are ****ing named after a pig... HOG. So i say,
they like them loud, since they cant go fast, and attract the
attention a motorcycle should....they might as well be loud. They
cant go a day without people drawing attention to their mullets. I
wish you could recycle trash.

Car boomers: two options... option1 : Still in highschool. They
enjoy their music, and think that ear damage isnt a factor.
Option 2 : Done highschool, but cant find a way to grow up.

or perhaps option 3 : They like loud music.

just my 0.02cents

more 0.02 cents...


chicks wear skimpy clothes... for attention...yet they dont wanna be
used for sex (well some of them dont wanna be used)

Body builders get big muscles....for attention...yet the invention of
the gun made big muscles obselete.

Big steros...for attention... music sounds better at lower sound
levels....well sometimes... but when you are in your car, and another
cars bass note shakes your windows....you LOOK at the car doing it...
there is some attention for him/her

Expensive cars ... for attention... really, we should only use a
vechile for groceries, and going to visit realtives etc etc ... we
dont need an 100grand benz to do that ... but people want the
attention.

Harleys with no mufflers...for attention... People know that white
trash, is annoying. So the white trash enjoy drawing attention to
themselves...their bikes cant go fast, so they gotta do something...so
loudness it is.

people smoking... i dont see the reasoning behind getting cancer...


People do alot of things for attetion. I dont see why you made your
post demanding reasons for why people do what people do. If you want
peace and quiet...i got news for you... you made a mistake and bought
a house in the city. You belong on a farm or an acreage somewhere.
The city is loud... full of all kinds of people. The world aint
perfect, so either you can bitch and complain about it, write stupid
postings in a car.audio newsgroup thinking your gonna find the answers
to lifes problems... or you can simpley live and let live ... and if
you dont like the way the people around you live... move somewhere
else with no one else around. AND DONT think your gonna make a
difference in the world by bitching and complaining...it aint gonna
happen

once again ... my 0.02 cents. I just cant stand people complaining
about what other people do with their time. Its their life, let them
live it.

HECK by stocks in hearing aid companys...make some money off the car
boomers

I'll preface this with "if I were to buy a bike it wouldn't be a Harley."

That said, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Go to a
Harley shop or talk to someone who owns one (a Harley, that is). The only
thing you said that was accurate is that some people call them hogs. Try to
outrun one. Hell, try to out run a real hog (the four legged kind). If the
rider feels like being bothered, you'll discover that you need a speedy
vehicle to outrun one that doesn't want to be outrun.

or else all i need is a bottom of the line crotch rocket

Notice how they left out those un-annoying things like the BMW with the
car alarm going off at 2am for a few hours, or the lawn care crew that
comes at 7am sharp on saturday to have the lawn *perfect* when they come
back from the weekend retreat on sunday...

I love the cell phone in the theater thing too. Or on the train home.
Oh yeah, the car alarm. They can't park one second without etting it,
giving out that annoying beep blop announcing to the world THEIR car is
SO gosh darn important it's *protected* (personally, I love to kick the
ones that yell at you to move away..). The all night party with their
friends parking their SUVs all over the place are fun too. Hey, just
because YOU want to leave YOUR driveway doesn't mean you can. Their
H2's too important to be parked out of direct view of everyone...

You want real annoyance, try living near a diesel train line. Thank god
we don't have huge freights by me, just a passenger train every 2 hours.
I'm 1 mile away through trees galore and can hear them.

Or an airport. Nothing like a 747 buzzing your home at 2am.

Or, life in general. So, if you want peace and quite, move to the
middle of ****ing nowhere and live in a hole in the ground. You're in
civilization. There's lots of people around. It's noisy. Get over it

To email me, chage 'usermale' to 'usermail'.

Ah jeez, why can't we all get along. Seriously, there are gonna be
people that do things to **** you off your entire life. *****ing about
it on the internet isn't going to make it any better for you. Go smoke
a joint and relax. All of you.

I have a system in my car. It's not a great system and I plan to get a
louder one (with a bunch more SQ, too) because sometimes I like bass I
can feel. When I drive home from college down the interstate with my
windows down (because it gets stuffy in a car even with good a/c) I turn
my stereo up so I can hear it better. Whenever I pull into my
neighborhood or into work, I turn my stereo down. Some people will be
obnoxious about their music, but there's f*ck all you can do about it.
Some people are dicks. Some people on both sides of this issue are
dicks. I'm going to keep listening to my music loud when I want to.
I'll stop at any intersection I want and bump my music because I'd
rather not spend a whole lot of time fiddling with my stereo when I'm
trying to drive and not run over dumb@sses who don't know how to
drive.

You know what? My car is loud, too. I don't have a fart can. I hate
those. I do, however, happen to have a hole in my muffler that makes it
sound like I have one. It bugs me, but do you know what I do? I turn
the stereo up. Ooops. Does that **** you off? If you want to send me
some cash to get a new muffler I'll let you paypal it to me. I don't
trust you with my address. You seem worse than the kids who would slash
someone's tires b/c they are ****ed about something stupid. Have I been
angry with the way things were before, someone for doing something I
don't agree with, or someone yelling at me? Yes. Have I ever slashed
someone's tires, broken windows, etc? No. I think you need to put some
more thought into your statements before you go generalizing what is
more than a small group of kids.

I don't have anything against Harleys either. I know a few people that
ride them. They are great people and good parents with teenage kids.
They are responsible riders, but their bikes are still loud. Do I hold
that against them? No. Noise pollution is abundant today and trying to
stop it by stopping a few people from making noise is futile. I know
Harleys are slower than the crotch rockets that many people ride today
(like my boss and his Ninja motorcycle). Those bikes are loud, too.
They are faster, but that's not what everyone is after. I'm a speed
freak, but everyone has different tastes. Harleys have a different feel
from other bikes, and some people want to make their bike different and
unique. You may argue that loud is not unique, but it's not solely
about being loud. It's about setting up a bike to suit your tastes.
It's the same with cars. I think that people who rice their cars and go
all show with no go is pointless, but it's not my car so I don't try to
change what other people want to do.

So remember, everyone has different tastes.
Some people are irresponsible, but that doesn't mean we all are.
And sh!t happens so get over it. Stressing about it will only give you
a heart attack. Now everyone go roll another joint and chill.
