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?

Usually the car next to me with deafning bass is playing 'crap' music for me.  However if the car next door was playing rock and the car was decent (Ford Mustang or some other V6 or V8 beast), good on you mate...!

Not sure the waves travel through the walls. They make the wall vibrate and move. The energy from the waves is transferred to the wall. Then depending on the composition of the wall it will respond accordingly.

I don't think those low frequency really travel through those walls in your home.

I would offer this, the waves from the driver hit the wall, they cause the wall to vibrate/resonate and because the wall is much larger then the driver it amplifies the sound."

>>>>>>>Uh, that's how sound waves propagate through ANY medium, air, water or walls, or whatever. The acoustic waves excite the molecules of the medium. Also, if the walls amplified the sound, the voices you hear from the next room, on the other side of the wall, would be louder, not softer.
