Annoying sounds from cars at stop light

In Texas you can be shot.......

You know what musicians suffer some of the worst hearing damage? The horn players in Symphony Orchestras. Over 100dB at their chairs on climaxes.

dill, are you saying you need to be 28 feet away in order to “fully” hear a 40Hz tone? I get the math but trying to understand how’s then we could hear the “whole” music when hearing all the frequencies from the same fixed listening position. Need to fresh up on my physics...

I was driving with the stereo on, put my hand out the window, ( the left hand not the right hand ) and felt the door panel. It was resonating like crazy and the volume was not turned up. So that got me thinking which for me is a lot more difficult then it seems. 
We all know that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. As it regards speakers this means that the sound off the back of the drive is equal to the sound coming off the front. 

then it seems

I think is should be ’than it seems’, sorry I have a thing with English...


Otherwise, I share your observations. I had to listen to a mobile boombox today and it made me think that the occupant must have gone deef. ;)
