Adding Insult to Illness
When driving past rows of houses, committing your audio terrorism, do
any of you BOOM thugs give a thought to the plight of living people inside those houses? You've been asked this before and you need to come up with something better than "get earplugs!" Nobody should have to suffer your punk agenda for even 10 seconds. Many people inside the houses you terrorize suffer from chronic migraines, long term pain and even cancer, where the slightest indignity feels like an avalanche. Can you try to put yourselves in their place? They may be on the verge of finally sleeping after enduring hours of pain, then YOU come along with your low-I.Q. subwoofers, and the moment is wrecked. With migraine headaches, even normal speech can overload the brain. A stupid, drooling monkey cranking 40hz is beyond tolerance. Normal city background noise can be an irritant but ghetto-car noise is deliberate, sinister and usually far worse. Those who are already suffering do not need this evil garbage forced upon them. Can you even begin to empathize with them? This is another request for you to do the right thing and let others rest in peace and enjoy the dwellings they work so hard to keep. E.A. http://enough_already.tripod.com/ If any other species behaved like Man we'd call it a plague. P.S. If you like good car stereos (as do I) but are decent enough to lower the volume in neighborhoods, you should take no offense to this post. So don't waste words with the standard "don't accuse us ALL..." speech. This is addressed to the losers that everyone is forced to listen to. |

I suppose you could print it off, and send it to the editor of your local paper....but they might make you sign your name. |

The delivery wasn't very convincing, but I totally understand where you're
coming from. I used to have a friend that drove around in very populated apartment buildings with his stereo turned ALL the way up. I asked him what the **** he was thinking and his reply was that it was HIS stereo and he could turn it up as loud as he wanted. Chalk it up to immaturity. This person is still my friend and his stereo is even louder than before, but he wouldn't even think of doing that any more out of respect for everyone else.

With migraine headaches, even
normal speech can overload the brain. Care to run that by me again? This is another request for you to do the right thing and let others rest in peace and enjoy the dwellings they work so hard to keep. I agree for the most part, but I think you've got the wrong group. Most of the people in here are not the boom-heads you seem to think we are. This is, for the most part, a technical-minded newsgroup. I saw your "PS", but I think it goes beyond that - the people you're addressing aren't here. Why don't you try newsgroups that cater specifically to people who like to make loud noises around town? Maybe start in the Harley newsgroup? |

"With migraine headaches, even

I "think" what he meant was that if he has a migraine headache, any noise at all hurts like hell, not to mention someone that drives by booming.

I "think" what he meant was that if he has a migraine headache, any noise at all hurts like hell, not to mention someone that drives by booming. I thought the whole "don't make noise because there are sick people out there" argument was pretty funny actually. I was trying to get him to do some more of it. Maybe he'll say "please, do it for the children!" |

I absolutely, totally understand to problem, however, in my normally
quiet neighborhood until recently, the culprits are college age ricers/tuners. This is NOT to say that all young people are disrespectful of other people's rights. This particular group was simply brought up without being taught manners. At 3 am they are using the street behind my house to test their cars, and their stereos. When my step son got his first truck, and loaded it with stereo gear, I didn't mind PROVIDING he respected his neighbors, and others users of the public roadways. He has enough manners to turn it down as he approaches our neighborhood, and sitting at a stoplight or in heavy traffic he would turn it down so as not to bother people next to him. So, I don't think it's simply youth. I think it's simply that they people who violate other's rights, have never learned simple manners. Here the law is that the stereo must not be audible more than 50 feet from the vehicle, and should not exceed X decibels (can't recall what the level is for that). The public can take down a license number and description of the driver, and file a complaint. As for the neighborhood. The cretins who live down the street are open to what is classified as a nuisance suit.... and the neighbors are getting ready for that.

I see you've written not ONE WORD OF CONCERN for all the people you're annoying. It says everything about how your brain works, so don't try to come off as a righteous individual being picked on unfairly. Would you like the address of a cancer ward so you can park outside with your mindless booming and annoy them to death? That's what I am trying to discuss here. This is about cretins making violent noise, not some particular poster's identity. Most people on Usenet are anonymous, including hypocrites like YOU. Criminal behavior has long been associated with noisy ego displays. Instead of owning up to their low-life actions, they rather slash someone's tires or threaten their family, etc.. Retaliation and looking like big shots to other losers is the whole game with these steroid stereos. If there weren't police and lawyers protecting the "rights" of noisy scum, the citizenry would take matters into its own hands very quickly. PLAN OF ACTION: I'd like to see someone patent a long range (approx. 100 yds) immobilizer that could be aimed at a boom car to shut down the stereo only. Stereo manufactures could embed circuitry (not a removable/hackable chip) that would let a specific signal kill the head unit while sparing other vital electronics. It would have to be sanctioned by neighborhood groups after repeat offenses and controlled to prevent abuse. Just giving it to police wouldn't be enough.

There's no reason to believe that stereo manufacturers would ever go for this. Ultimately, it would be abused. It could never be forced upon them legally either, because it would quite clearly be struck down as unconstitutional. |

All noise is an irritant with that type of pain and the sufferer just wants to escape all light and sound. I'm trying to show that the facades of houses aren't just something to bounce bass off of. There are actual people inside them. Even responsible stereo owners have to think twice about volume sometimes. Those with more bass than could ever be needed inside a vehicle are not in it for musical quality.

All noise is an irritant with that type of pain and the sufferer just
wants to escape all light and sound. Does this include truck drivers, motorcycle enthusiasts, and neighbors who have graduation parties for their children? Or are you only limiting your crusade to subwoofers? Enough of them ARE here, like "KaeZoo" who showed no empathy for noise victims in his reply. How on earth did you get that from his reply?? He simply criticized the way with which you delivered the message. Besides, these posts are Google archived and many people find them in general searches. As another poster mentioned, if you don't boom, you probably know someone who does, so it's all connected. Is it? It sounds to me like Tony had already addressed the issue with his friend. And who's to say we can believe that most of you aren't noisemakers anyhow? People rarely sink thousands of dollars into stereos to not have them heard by others. No one's forcing you to believe it. I think it's quite clear that the classless one here is you. First, you post accusations without first researching the nature of the newsgroup. Then you belittle people who disagreed with your tactics (even though they were, for the most part, in agreement with the underlying sentiment). And now you're calling the regulars here liars. If you think your post is going to be effective, then you have a lot to learn about dealing with people. Try exercising some of the consideration that you're accusing us of not using. |

Even if the "disabling" units were issued to the police alone, it wouldn't be difficult to homebrew the stuff. Also, disabling the disabler would probably be easy and would be an entire industry unto itself. 3. There are FCC concerns. |

If it were only the cops that had access to the disabler, and it required a court order or a warrant to use it, that would go a long way towards making it legal, though. Not any less silly, but legal. 2) Your suggestion of a non-removable, unhackable chip is folly. You may as well wish for world peace and a cure for cancer while you're at it. How long do you seriously think it would take for someone to engineer and publish a workaround? There will always be inconsiderate jerks, and sometimes you have to put up with the occasional jerk in the interest of protecting your freedoms. If the cops can't adequately enforce the noise ordinances that are already in place, giving enforcement authority to the general population is NOT the answer. -- Scott Gardner "It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God, but to create him."

Actually, there is a method of noise cancellation which might be
developed for use. Essentially, it copies the incoming noise and sends it back and the two actually cancel each other out. How that application might be applied is for the experts to work out, and perhaps the situation would be remedied. Unfortunately, this still does not do anything to correct bad manners, disrespectful people of any age, or those who are totally inconsiderate. The lack of such qualities, while more often seen in teens and twenty somethings, is not restricted. I have seen a lot of "older" people who, maybe from losing their hearing at Woodstock or Filmore West, crank it up. It is generally true that the older one gets, the more the nerves are impacted by loud noise. Except for the new arrivals, it is nice that when there is a party in the neighborhood, the neighbors, go around and talk to their neighbors. They also make sure that the level is greatly reduced from 10pm on, and it only takes a telephone call to get cooperation if it's disturbing. Except for our new "non-neighbor".... neighbors, good and true, respect each other.... non-neighbors may live there but have no respect.

And there are legal measures which can be taken in most communities.
Initially a complaint to the local law enforcement agency. If it's neighbors, a legal action, generally in small claims court, is possible.

By the way, folks...
In case you haven't visited his tripod site, it's a must see. The guy doing all the bitching is a crackpot. He's deathly afraid of "overpopulation", technology, capitalism, and subscribes to such ideas as: "Couples should voluntarily limit their family-size to two or fewer children, and not just for personal economic reasons." It's a hilarious doom and gloom site for those interested though. I just hope you use a popup blocker... "Enough Already" wrote in message oups.com... When driving past rows of houses, committing your audio terrorism, do any of you BOOM thugs give a thought to the plight of living people inside those houses? You've been asked this before and you need to come up with something better than "get earplugs!" Nobody should have to suffer your punk agenda for even 10 seconds. Many people inside the houses you terrorize suffer from chronic migraines, long term pain and even cancer, where the slightest indignity feels like an avalanche. Can you try to put yourselves in their place? They may be on the verge of finally sleeping after enduring hours of pain, then YOU come along with your low-I.Q. subwoofers, and the moment is wrecked. With migraine headaches, even normal speech can overload the brain. A stupid, drooling monkey cranking 40hz is beyond tolerance. Normal city background noise can be an irritant but ghetto-car noise is deliberate, sinister and usually far worse. Those who are already suffering do not need this evil garbage forced upon them. Can you even begin to empathize with them? This is another request for you to do the right thing and let others rest in peace and enjoy the dwellings they work so hard to keep. E.A. http://enough_already.tripod.com/ If any other species behaved like Man we'd call it a plague. P.S. If you like good car stereos (as do I) but are decent enough to lower the volume in neighborhoods, you should take no offense to this post.

I see you've written not ONE WORD OF CONCERN for all the people you're annoying. It says everything about how your brain works, so don't try to come off as a righteous individual being picked on unfairly. Try again. I don't have a subwoofer in either of my vehicles right now. I don't have a problem with your message in general. I simply think your "change peoples' minds by insulting them" approach is rather stupid. Would you like the address of a cancer ward so you can park outside with your mindless booming and annoy them to death? That's what I am trying to discuss here. This is about cretins making violent noise, not some particular poster's identity. Most people on Usenet are anonymous, including hypocrites like YOU. True, but I'm not the one doing the name-calling, am I? Criminal behavior has long been associated with noisy ego displays.

Retaliation and looking like big shots to other losers is the whole game with these steroid stereos. If there weren't police and lawyers protecting the "rights" of noisy scum, the citizenry would take matters into its own hands very quickly. Sounds like an '80's vigilante movie. You made my wife's migraine worse, so I'm fully justified in beating you up and torching your car. Speaking of noisy ego displays. PLAN OF ACTION: I'd like to see someone patent a long range (approx. 100 yds) immobilizer that could be aimed at a boom car to shut down the stereo only. Stereo manufactures could embed circuitry (not a removable/hackable chip) that would let a specific signal kill the head unit while sparing other vital electronics. It would have to be sanctioned by neighborhood groups after repeat offenses and controlled to prevent abuse. Just giving it to police wouldn't be enough. After which, presumably, the "scum" would just quietly go home and sob into their Mountain Dews, right? After which we can proceed with the devices to silence train whistles, noisy motorcycles, and barking dogs. |

I understand your concerns and complaints, although they almost appear *very* aggressive. But then again, I can understand that. If you're ticked-off, you're ticked-off! It seems to me this parallels the noise problem with the motorcycle riders whose modified mufflers are *WAY* too loud. I mean, really bad-deafeningly loud. Talk about headache-inducing noise! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but I was an installer for several years and I knew (in many cases) the customer wanted 12" or 15" woofers and amp(s) loud enough so that _EVERYONE__ had to hear it. Usually as soon as they picked up the vehicle, up went the volume control. The sad irony is that not only do some cruise the neighborhood bothering everyone with the sound, but they're going deaf simultaneously. Very sad and irritating at the same time. The problem is also bad for people who work in the 3rd shift and sleep during the day...I would be mad too if somebody's *'pimp ride' * was keeping me awake. Oh well, just some thoughts... -- MartyMcLeod ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MartyMcLeod's Profile: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/me...p?userid=34271 View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/sh...d.php?t=216219 CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online! |

Many people? R-i-i-i-g-h-t... you'd like us to buy into large chunks of
the population living, nay cowering in their homes in terminal condition, likely to pass on from even the slightest disturbance in their neighborhood. What a feeble community you must live in... Frankly, most of the people I've ever known that were that sick or terminal were less prone to complaining or letting passing irritants interfere with their own priorities than you anti-noise types that scuttle into RAC periodically. Good thing they have you guys to stick up for them! I'm also sure anyone in the condition you describe has many more obstacles to overcome than a few booming vehicles driving past. Nice job of trying to hide your personal attitude about it behind a synthesized guilt trip though. I would think you guys would get tired of coming into this group - which is hardly a hotbed of boomcar owners in the first place - and looking for sympathy with crap like this.

You've been asked this before and you need to come up with something better than "get earplugs!" Nobody should have to suffer your punk agenda for even 10 seconds. Many people inside the houses you terrorize suffer from chronic migraines, long term pain and even cancer, where the slightest indignity feels like an avalanche. Can you try to put yourselves in their place? They may be on the verge of finally sleeping after enduring hours of pain, then YOU come along with your low-I.Q. subwoofers, and the moment is wrecked.
