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?

Happy Listening!

Setup your system outside on a nice day, notice how it sounds. Then, see if you can hear it inside your house, all doors and windows closed.
Its a status thing for a lot of younger, mostly guys.
My sons friend , who knew I was an audio lover, brought his pick up over to show me how cool it was that his new subwoofers could cause a quarter on top of the dash board to bounce 3 inches straight up, and flip heads to tails when the woofers were pumping out heavy rap.
That was several years ago. Maybe he grew up and wised up, or else is in the market for a hearing aid.
I came of age during the lste 60's-70's. Attended tons of rock concerts. Led Zeppelin, Fog hat, J Geils, etc. While seeing and hearing them live was a thrill at the time. I have a constant ringing in both ears for years now, that never lets up. Not sure the it was the smartest thing to do now.
