Annoying sounds from cars at stop light


What causes the stereo in the car next to you at the stop light so loud and annoying with over the top bass and how can the driver stand it?

viridian you better watch what you say, that is probably my kids you are talking about.............
" The noise that we hear is not from the front of the driver."
It doesn't matter, low bass is low & slow and radiates 360 degrees., needs time to fully develop. Try an experiment, turn your home rig up loud with good bass material. Leave the room and go to an adjoining room, close all doors and listen for the bass. 40Hz (low open E string on a Fender bass) wavelength is about 28ft.
