About ready to lose my frickin' mind, here

[TeresaChristina 0]

Ok... as I sit here, a car somewhere in the alley behind me or the street behind that is booming so fcuking loud that the windows in my living room are vibrating. It would seem to me, that instead of pursuing measly seatbelt fines, that the police would make a lot more profit actually enforcing the noise ordinance and ticketing these a$$holes who feel the need to share their love of music with everyone in a 10-block radius. Am I the only one who has heard enough booming rap and banda music played through tinny speakers to last a lifetime?

Ok... end of rant. Thank you for participating.

It is irritating! We have them all over the place here in southern California.

Dont worry sooner or later they won't have any hearing left. But on the other hand they will always be idiots to replace them. These type people are everywhere and I am tired of hearing it too. They believe their music is the best and they don't respect the people around them.

I hate those! Especially when I am comfortably at home trying to be in peace and quiet.

Call the police and complain.

I am with you one day I was sitting in traffic with the excruiating pain in my head from one of the cars behind me. Enough torture on the highway dealing with the road rage, but then to have to listen to that too, when I am peacefully listening to my music ....

A couple of our parents drive up to the daycare every morning with the tunes on.. One mom said it was my birthday present as her car was booming outside as she checked her kid in , she didn't even turn off the car.

Wish I could be the terminator at times... LOL

Ahhh.... My people! I knew I wasn't alone.

And trust me, I do call the police. But tinny banda music coming from a green mini-van for FOUR FREAKING hours while the owner casually cleans out and vaccuums his car, is apparently not high on their to-do list. And I can't complain too harshly. They have a tough enough job. But this weekend, it seriously went on for FOUR hours. After asking them very nicely to turn it down, then not quite so nicely, then not nicely at all, then rudely, then very, very rudely in both English and Spanish ( see, I can be accommodating) then I called the cops. They turned up 45 minutes later, didn't even stop, just twittered their siren at them for a sec and toddled along their merry way. The quiet lasted.... oh about long enough for the car to turn onto New York Street, then FIESTA!!!

<sigh>

LoL... Unfortunately.. I'm one of those people... however.. I turn down/off my subwoofers in residential areas...

I have two alpine type R 12 inch subs and a 1000 watt amplifier.... I still have to fix the wiring on it because only one of the subs are getting power right now...

hmmmm I bet I could guess the genre of the music........

It doesn't matter what the genre... it's the damn BASS!!! Boom..BoomBoom...Boom.BoomBoomBoom!!!

God it's irritating! Goes right through my floors, windows... makes me want to put an ice pick in their speakers!

Even though they will loose their hearing, they will then just turn it up louder!!! :argh:

Is this not the land of the free, free to do what ever you like no matter how annoying it is to somebody else, sometimes I wish I could take my husbands gun and shoot them damn speakers that would be my right in the land of the free

And yes I know I'm living in Fantasy Land.

Yes, they are irritating, no matter what genre is being played. I always get headaches from them and there was even once when my chest hurt from the bass.

I feel you. I don't live in the city, so my encounters are always fleeting. Living with it can suck though. When I was in India, I was awakened every morning at like 330 or 4 to the blaring of "prayers" throughout the town by first one stupid fcking religious establishment and then another. Hindus, Muslims and Christians were all participating. It was horrible. I'm glad I don't live in a place like that. I don't think I could get used to it. I would kill somebody.
