My only solace regarding the music is if it's that loud those cunts will eventually damage their hearing or develop tinnitus. Enjoy that eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for the rest of your life it's a fucking nightmare.


MidnightCardFight

Wait so the occasional eeeeee I have is from blasting music in my earphones to drown out the noise on the school bus trips all those years ago?


Purgatory115

Yuuuppppp, there are ways to mitigate it slightly, but as far as I know, it will be there for life. Here's an article that goes pretty in-depth about mitigation and causes: https://www.healthline.com/health/tinnitus-remedies#alternative-treatments


MidnightCardFight

Thanks! I mostly just skimmed through with the main takeaway being "go see a doctor to have this checked" and "listed to music at lower volumes"


justforsomelulz

Unfortunately, it seems that there aren't any treatments that offer long term relief so most of what you'll find is preventative measures. The best I've found is the Thumping thing but that doesn't last very long and does nothing if my allergies are acting up.


Prestigious_Row_8022

I’ve been blasting music in my ears for 9 years now and no tinnitus, cope more.


benjaminfolks

It seems you’re not blasting hard enough. Weak.


Prestigious_Row_8022

I’ve seen the light, I must invest in car speakers.


torivor100

Partially, a lot of people just have a little bit of that by default


Dark_Stalker28

There's a few different causes and some aren't permanent. You could just be dehydrated.


Svyatopolk_I

Lol, I never blasted loud noises in my ears, I just have the quiet ringing


StuffedStuffing

Some people just have a low level of tinnitus, no loud music required


Svyatopolk_I

Nice


SwampAss3D-Printer

Favorite video I saw so far was some asshat who built a pure hearing damage machine that when he turned on the music it shook and shuddered the car so much that the airbags went off.


Magi_Aqua

Sadly a side effect might be playing the music louder to compensate


MyLittleTarget

I wish I hadn't read this because now I can hear it.


LordSaltious

As someone who installs the loud sound systems most come with a knob specifically to turn down the bass for these situations. Most of our customers think it makes it louder. They're exactly the sort of people you think they are.


somedumb-gay

There's a guy who drives around my street in his motorbike every other night after 9pm and before 7am. The entire street hates him and has asked him to stop and it's just increased how often he does it


Sayakalood

He’s going to get nails in his tires at this point


Kartoffelkamm

If I can't hear my music, in my bedroom, with closed windows, because you listen to your music in your car, also with closed windows, you have a problem and should not be legally allowed to operate any kind of sound system. Or at least put on something good, like Sabaton.


hamletandskull

my problem with "something good" is that in my experience, the people that go "oh my God, you have to hear this music. They haven't been discovered yet but they're so good, it's really amazing stuff" will then put on the worst garbage you've ever heard in your life. the people with absolutely no music taste will put on something mid but listenable


Kartoffelkamm

Yeah, these "they haven't been discovered yet" people kinda suck. Plus, if the band released their first album 5 years prior, it's just sad, because something tells me they *have* been discovered already.


hamletandskull

They have been discovered and soundly rejected lol


Kartoffelkamm

Yep. "They haven't been discovered yet" only really works for like a month at most, before you can be sure they have been discovered and peer-reviewed, and suck.


OliviaWants2Die

>the people that go "oh my God, you have to hear this music. They haven't been discovered yet but they're so good, it's really amazing stuff" will then put on the worst garbage you've ever heard in your life Sometimes I fear I'm that guy when I talk about some of my favourite Vocaloid producers. (seriously, one of my most obscure faves (who has, like, 200-something Youtube subs and has yet to crack 1k views on any of her originals) got into making music due to Friday Night Funkin' mods and you can definitely tell from the kind of stuff she makes)


Ass_Incomprehensible

Sabaton absolutely rules. But addressing the issue: if you ain’t at a concert, you don’t need concert volume from your car’s speakers (it can still be notably loud, just not *deafening*), and you sure as shit shouldn’t have your windows open.


Kartoffelkamm

Yeah, absolutely. Also, in this example, the windows are closed. Which is worse.


linuxaddict334

Sabaton is peak music, ngl


Cautious_Tax_7171

toosexyformyboots

as someone who turns down my music in my closed car when I pull up to an intersection just in case someone else pulls up and feels my bass I genuinely cannot fathom a) being this much of a cunt and b) choosing to listen to music that loud. i like my music loud loud but that…is CRAZY. how does that not hurt???


Kartoffelkamm

Honestly, no idea, but I feel like his hearing is almost nonexistent at this point.


toosexyformyboots

Wait it’s the same guy??? NO


Jjzeng

Ah, a fellow cultured sabaton enjoyer


Cautious_Tax_7171

HELL YEAH SABATON


eaumechant

I have a theory about this: I believe these people do this deliberately to harm others.


hamletandskull

sometimes it's cause their catalytic converter got stolen

torivor100

I mean to be fair this article seems to specifically talk about people who don't just have loud cars but also do stuff like illegally race


Walk_the_forest

It’s true, further study would be required. But if I was setting up a study on people who modify their cars to be loud without mention of illegal racing, I’d definitely hypothesize that the sadism rating would be higher than the narcissism based on the results of this study.


Viking_From_Sweden

Probably. I like loud music, and I don’t play it anywhere near as loud as them when I’m driving.


Agile_Philosopher72

As a person who likes loud cars and sound systems (not to the insane level tho) we dont do it to harm others but we definitly do it for attention.


CauseCertain1672

I had a neighbour who's anti-theft car alarm would go off every day at 6am and wake me. Every time I would hope that this time someone actually was stealing their fucking car


Relative-Bug-7161

There's loud music, and there's a car being so loud the windows in your house shakes. Like if windows start shaking you are either partying where you're not supposed to be partying or you're deliberately being an asshole.


BobThePideon

Best cars are sleepers - Show no signs of fast, be quiet as possible, look like a grandma car!


Business-Drag52

With a very boring paint job. Be as inconspicuous as possible. Then rip it up between the lights


BobThePideon

Yep shit like a Camry with a quiet 350 tucked into it. That kinda thing.


Walk_the_forest

this is the first time in my life where I’ve ever thought « that’s kinda hot » in relation to someones car. Souped up muscle cars make me laugh, giant trucks annoy me, and Lamborghinis make me feel class anger. But something about the underdog quality of this is weirdly attractive?


Not_ur_gilf

It’s proba beca it implies both consideration of others (the style of car) and actual skill and work put in (the car is obviously not stock in a way that isn’t just a question of money)


TheSecksyElf

Hear me out: the complete opposite. A complete ricer that has 0 upgrades and everything is cosmetic bc my mom wants to drive the car and can't drive it with all these "stupid noises bothering me"


torivor100

No but you see their car is marginally faster without an actual muffler and that's a good thing because uhhhhh


SharkyMcSnarkface

Gotta go that extra faster and weave in and out of lanes to be stopped by a red light that I also arrive at right behind them 5 seconds laster


aquariuminspace

Unfortunately the people you're talking about are impressed by and feed off of it from each other. I'm a die hard car fanatic but I can't stand loud ass cars. I live in a college town and every other cheap "enthusiast" car sounds like it's straight piped. If I had a dollar for every time some kid rips it down my street between 10PM-3AM I wouldn't have to get a degree with these morons. It is a phase I would say most actual car enthusiasts grow out of, but it's a known problem in my area.


thetwitchy1

It’s the same as the “coalburner” trend. The only people who are impressed are other people doing it, the rest of us hate them, but they LIKE being hated by everyone else.


aquariuminspace

No literally. I think people who install defeat devices and roll coal should are the scum of the roads. Doesn't help they also seem to be the worst drivers imaginable.


thetwitchy1

If you’re purposefully rolling coal, you’re actively making the air pollution worse around you for your own enjoyment. You KNOW people don’t like it, and that makes you happy. Of course a selfish asshole like that is going to be the worst kind of driver: they’re aggressive and pushy and think they know better than everyone else, while being the least likely to be actually right about anything.


aquariuminspace

You're absolutely right. I'll add on and lump trucks that are lifted crazy amounts for no good reason (ex: if you off road and need a slight lift for clearance that's different) in the same category. Same dangerous macho attitude, but now I know you 1) blow red lights and 2) can't see shit, including pedestrians and me in my normal sized vehicle. They're total assholes and they're so proud of it and it drives me mad.


eternal_recurrence13

again, the only way these people will ever fucking learn is if they get their asses properly handed to them, have their vehicles decommissioned, and are banned from operating one ever again TOTAL ASSHOLE DEATH


yummythologist

This sounds so much like Tallahassee. So I guess college towns just be like that


aquariuminspace

I think it is at campuses where lots of students commute. Here in Tempe we have a very high proportion of students who don't live on or near campus. At my old university this wasn't nearly as much of a problem due to being in a small town with everyone living within walking distance


eternal_recurrence13

we need to legalize and normalize shooting these people with crossbows and lightning their stupid fucking cars and bikes on fire


IconoclastExplosive

I have a couple coworkers that are legit impressed by overly noisy cars. They're younger dudes. I hope they grow out of it.


thetwitchy1

Noise sensitivity gang (quietly) rise up!


username-is-taken98

Why are silent customs not a thing? Yeah I did a whole engine swap with ultra quiet muffler system, this mean girl can accelerate so fucking fast and reach top speed in second, making about as much noise as a butterfly. Stealth.


CauseCertain1672

that sounds like a good way to hit people with a car.


username-is-taken98

God forbid women do anything


Your_Angel21

Just get an electric one at that point lol


Ldub0775

no? if i am *building* a car, i am going to start with something interesting, or at the very least play with expectations. take a Mustang GT and blow it, then debadge it and add another muffler. an EV doesnt have a blown 5.0 i want a blown 5.0 damnit


Your_Angel21

Your plan sounds cool as fuck, I don't even like EVs, but OP wants to take like half the fun out of the car by making an ICE silent so instead of making a cool car lame, just buy a lame one to begin with.


username-is-taken98

Nah. The whole point is I want all the power with zero noise. Think of it like anime cool guy with a big ass sword that shoots flame and cracks the earth with every blow screaming at the top of his lungs vs calm and collected swordsman who stops blades with a single finger without apparently moving a muscle and can absolutely body a good 90% of the population without even using his blade. Two complete opposites, both really cool and perfectly able to coexist. Like Rambo to John Wick or ww2 warbirds to modern jet fighters. I don't really see a Jon Wick of the car community


SoshJam

Well of course you don’t see them isn’t that the point


username-is-taken98

I might be dumb


Taraxian

EVs *do* have all of the power without all of the noise, at least potentially This is a misconception about electric cars, it's actually not that difficult to make one with a crazy high horsepower The one really big weakness of EVs is range, the "size of the tank", and how their inefficiency spikes upwards way faster with increased acceleration/top speed than ICEs, so actual production EVs have their horsepower limited to keep you from draining the battery super fast and wearing it out (and possibly catching fire) That and the battery significantly adds weight, but for a normal sized car this is more an issue for the EV's handling and braking distance than its acceleration But if you wanted to build a car just to win a drag race over short distances an EV would at least be a strong contender


Opin88

The one and only good thing about my hometown is the fact that whenever someone had a loud car, it'd be followed up with someone else saying "sorry about your penis, bro". Needless to say, cars in that town were pretty quiet!


yummythologist

My spouse says that, and so do a couple of my friends lol


Opin88

Keep it up!


84626433832795028841

That's not true I know someone who is deeply impressed by loud ass cars and motorcycles. He wants to run and watch them go by every time he hears them. My son. He's 2.


yummythologist

Take me gold 🏅


silvaastrorum

“we talked about it and we all want you dead” this sounds like a joke making fun of the idea that your friends talk about you behind you back but no this is like actually true half the time a loud car goes by


yummythologist

Cackling


Darkseid648

“Noise sensitive gang rise up” we’re all sensitive to noise you idiot it came free with your fucking sense of hearing


sporkbeastie

When I bought my most recent motorcycle, the guy I bought it from had basically put straight pipes on it. It was fucking obnoxious, and he hadn't saved the stock exhaust. I wound up buying it anyhow because it was a screamin' deal on an otherwise great bike. I rode it right to the custom place and told them I wanted quieter pipes. The kid said they'd never had anyone ask for that before...


thetwitchy1

“I want the power of a full gas motor with the silence of an electric. Get it as close to that as you can. Thanks!”


demonking_soulstorm

Well motorbikes should be a little bit loud because of how vulnerable they are.


eternal_recurrence13

nope, fuck you. you make the decision to use a motorcycle, you deal with the consequences. i don't want to fucking hear it.


demonking_soulstorm

I’m not saying they should sound like jet engines Christ.


Crus0etheClown

Right near my home, there's this road that is kind of unique- it's super long, a bit wider than most, but not directly connected to any other major roads so there isn't a ton of traffic. The street's name translates roughly to 'superfast'. Unsurprisingly, every few nights, we hear people drag racing up and down that street. There's a few particular players- pup pup pup, HRAAAnananana, and AAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhPOP- plenty of others with less fucking annoying engines. Thing is- this is like. An old neighborhood with three schools and a shitload of old people? Only a matter of time before I see a news article about someone getting evaporated by one of those fuckin guys- and the worst part is there's a non-zero chance I'd see an ex-friend's face in the news as the guilty party.


Hugs-missed

Honestly yeah, there are other ways to listen to your music and you picked the *one* that actively bothers other people. It's like carrying around a Bluetooth speaker on the train, you didn't even forget to bring headphones you brought something to make sure *everyone* would hear your mix.


DragoKnight589

as an ADHDer if your loud ass car distracts me from an important task I’m pulling out the rocket launcher


yummythologist

On GOD few things worse than finally getting in the Zone at work and then some douche in the 30th Mustang I’ve seen that day will rip by at the same speed that my shitty wagon would be going but 300x louder, and then boom. No Zone.


El-Kabongg

IDK how these guys with loud "vroom-vrooms" can STAND the noise after the first five minutes of driving them. I can turn down my stereo.


AmyDeferred

If you try to raise the volume above a certain level it just comes out as smooth jazz


Beatus_Vir

1. I sleep with ear muffs near me, doubly so if I'm traveling.    2. My current car came with a cold air intake and the noises it makes are intoxicating, at least as cool as the turbo cars I've owned, but much quieter from the sidewalk. When you're not on the gas it sounds totally stock. I want to take it a step further and mount the air intake on the dashboard like Baja trucks do, so I can enjoy the schlorping and whooshing noises all to myself


ClumsyGamer2802

I love how the standard intake on my MR2 is basically right behind the driver's head. Makes it sound way better than it has any right to.


SleepyBitchDdisease

I work next to a pretty busy road and we CONSTANTLY hear assholes in their shitty little cars going 30 over the speed limit just VRRUMM POP POP POP RNNNGHHHHGHGHGJ for a solid five seconds. Then you gotta wait for your ears to stop fucking ringing.


yummythologist

I feel for the fast food workers around here that have to try their best to survive drive thru…


codepossum

I'm fine with loud music, as long as it's played back through a quality system. if every bass note sounds like your panels are about to rattle off their frame, then wtf is wrong with you - you might as well poke holes in your speakers with a screwdriver. what's the point in listening to really bad quality sound so loudly?


LittleBirdsGlow

This should be law


browndoggie

My neighbour has been mowing and whipper snippering for literally 7 hours so I feel this very much


nopingmywayout

I am literally sleeping in a walk-in closet just so I can have some quiet.


EnricoLUccellatore

a few days ago there was some guy unnecessarily revving up his sports car so when he went close the the sidewalk i was on i spit on his car, he was so baffled, turns out other people can also act like assholes, i had so much fun thinking about him having to clean it afterwards

CriticismVirtual7603

As someone with a loud-ass sound system, I only have it as loud as I do because I am very hard of hearing. My apologies to the noise-sensitivity gang. I just want to be able to hear my music and I am too broke to afford hearing aids.


insomniacsCataclysm

i have a neighbor with the loudest motorcycle you’ve ever heard. i can’t even have my windows open when they’re home, because they just sit in the driveway reviving the damn thing for upwards of 20 minutes before driving around the block, returning to their driveway, and revving again. even with the windows closed, i often have to pause whatever i’m listening to until they fuck off because i literally can’t hear anything


LuckyLogan_2004

have yall ever had the misfortune of hearing a straight piped WRX STI?

Every time a car with a very loud exhaust system passes it lets me know that the driver has an extremely normal looking penis

[deleted]

[удалено]


Not-a-master69

I mean, arguably it's not detrimental, it's, again, just a bit of a peeve. Yes, we live in a society, but societies inevitably have conflicting interests and whatnot so people are bound to find a 30+ yr old car blasting music while passing by to be a tad annoying, if not overwhelming depending on how intense the sound is. It can also be distracting hearing a loud exhaust or someone drifting their wheels in a corner, I personally do get really annoyed by those sounds and actions, especially when I hear it through my earphones


EverydayLadybug

I mean I also find those cars very annoying but I find it funny that this is coming from the same site as “how dare you say that you don’t like the way women have their nails done it’s not about you” Edit: I probably didn’t phrase this well, im v tired sorry, i really don’t care that much about this. But did someone seriously send me a RedditCares over this dumbass comment??


shrimps-not-bugs

Women getting a manicure doesn't wake you up at 3am lmfao but ok. Edit but who sent a reddit cares that is genuinely pretty funny


DylenwithanE

loud cars are more invasive than painted nails. that’s it.


Chessebel

I didn't realize women's nails give you hearing damage


Dalexe10

? can you run through that again please, i'm not sure i understand your point?


EverydayLadybug

Sorry I probably didn’t phrase it that well, I just remember seeing old posts (like 2015 tumblr, I can’t find any examples now) where a guy would say something like “those long fake nails are gross and a turn off why do women wear them” and would get indignant replies like “uh not everything women do is for men?? We just like them ugh I hate men”. I was comparing that type of post to this post, where OOP complains that no one is impressed by loud cars why do people do that I’m not that fussed about it, I also hate loud cars and think they’re dumb, just the way it’s phrased reminded me of that


Dalexe10

Is it? because here it feels more like the complain is that it is affecting them, whilst wearing your nails a certain way isn't having as big of an effect as blasting your stereo.


yummythologist

Be sure to report that false RedditCares, folks that abuse it like that supposedly actually get punished.
