They made me nervous even when I wasn't breaking the law

Sometimes they do me too. One of the town cops shakes his finger at me when my music is too loud. I always try to see them comin' though.

What's wrong with loud music in the car? I get told to turn it down all the time, by my child! But that's it.

I don't know if you're a KISS fan Duch, put Detroit Rock City on blasting while you are driving. It's the best.

What's wrong with loud music in the car?

Well, there is loud and then there is loud where other drivers can hear it in their cars. You can't do that here, you can't get into someone else's space like that. I don't know how strictly that is enforced though. I've been pulled over for it once and had the finger shaked at me a couple times.

I don't know how it is in other communities here, I only know about mine. However, because I live on a farm, the noise ordinance doesn't apply to me. Go figure. I can make as much noise as I want and while people could complain there is no legal action that can be taken.

Well LOUD music in the car sounds great to the ear. I "used" to like it very loud too. However, it can also be dangerous!

Because when the music is very loud, music is all you can hear! If another car blasted their horn at you to avoid an accident you wouldn't be able to hear them!

But more importantly, when the music is too loud, you can't hear an emergency vehicle with it's sirens screaming rushing through traffic lights, and passing traffic!!

That happened to me, once with an "ambulance" rushing to pass through a traffic light that was "in my favor", I had the green. I didn't hear the sirens off in the distance cause the music was so loud, it was not till I saw the flashing "RED" lights in the corner of my eye that I jammed on the brakes and stopped just in the nick of time!

Then another time again the same thing happened, only this time with a "Fire Engine" with its' "sirens" and even "air horns" blasting rushing through my green light. Not hearing them off in the distance, again I stopped at the last minute when I saw the flashing Red lights.

Well, with those two times near misses, I wasn't going to try to be a three time looser!

So now, I keep the music loud in my car, but loud enough that is sounds good, but still soft enough so that I can hear sirens and horns off in the distance!
