But people can drive around cranking a 150 dB stereo that sounds like a whale passing gas?

Nobody in a car with the music that loud is going to hear anything - just as if they were wearing headphones or IEM's.

it's easier to hear even with your music cranked to the max then with headphones

So murder is legal?

so murder is the same as cranking your stereo? funny how people can always try to compare 2 totally different things.
is that just in CA or everywhere? also, why isn't it enforced?

Those noise ordnances are pretty much everywhere. They may or may not be enforced depending on the jurisdiction and the levels of crime they have. If I was curious about what they were doing I would use it as another tool to get a car stopped.

I know its illegal here, I have never seen it enforced though. I did actually do this for about a week while my stereo was broke.

Loud music isn't going to drown everything out, unless you have it so loud it makes you go deaf. Headphones not only produce the extremely loud music, they block outside noise.

OK, I will take the time from my busy day to explain to you what YOU just posted.
I said: "What makes you think they aren't both against the law?"
You said: "the number of idiots out there cranking their music as loud as it will go?"
What I inferred from your statement was that you believed it wasn't illegal because people were doing it.
I interjected that people were also killing people but that doesn't make it legal.

In the future, when you don't undertstand what you typed, it might be better to PM me instead of posting ignorant blather.
That aside, I :heart: you anyway.

I often wear ear plugs while im riding, I cant imagine it being illegal to simply block outside noise, as cars have been trying harder and harder to do that for a long time including new active noise cancellation. Besides, its not illegal for hearing impaired/deaf people to drive, so how can it be illegal to block out noise?

no, i understood what you said and i understood what i said. still doesn't make a difference, so stop trying to "pwn" me like a 12 year old, unless you really are a 12 year old (i wouldn't be surprised), pwn away.
