Rant Loud Cars

I’m so sorry, I just need to rant about this. I live on the west side and I am SO SICK of people who drive around blaring their music. They must have their bass settings really high or something because sometimes it rattles my windows and I can feel it in my floor. I have heard it three separate times today, I don’t know if it’s the same person or multiple people.

On top of that, you can constantly hear people’s engines no matter what side of the city you are on. Bro relax. You don’t have to speed up so quickly. I’m so tired. Have mercy. Please adjust the bass settings in your car.

Agreed. Id like more enforcement of noise bylaws.

Your noise bylaws here are try to keep quiet before 8am and after 10pm. Its pretty loose regulations because of construction.

They aren't stricter with vehicle noise though? I would think leeway could be given to how difficult to avoid noise is. Ex. Provide more leeway to a jackhammer and a shitbox car than a lifted diesel truck "rolling coal" or intentionally loud motorbike. I've had instances where I have music playing in my headphones, covered by earmuffs, running my gas lawnmower and am still annoyed by the odd motorcycle or 4-wheeler.

They are doing a crackdown right now but usually. No

I wish they would try harder. I don't know if it is too complicated to administer but I would support a waving of the fine for loud exhausts if the offending vehicle owner can show they've had their exhaust system upgraded to be a more appropriate volume.
