This topic is sure to attract some views. grnwink.gif



So I was sitting around in my home, right, and I heard very loud music. The song itself I like but the guy had it blasting. The house of the guy who was playing it was three streets away. My neighborhood was made in such a way that noise travels quickly, so I could hear it despite being three streets away.

This kind of made me upset, and not because the music was bad (it was a good song), but rather because it was so loud. In todays world we pass cars and hear people blasting music, but usually people are at least responsive about it. The guy I am referring to actually called the police because people were standing on his lawn, to complain about the music he was playing being so loud. No idea what the police did, but still.

It's stupid to listen to music too loud. It will damage your hearing. You will need that later in life. If the music is causing pain to you or others, it's time to turn it down. This is coming from a musician.

Anyways, if the music is a disturbance to several people, it needs to be turned down. The police have a right to silence them at that time.

Don't you have noise ordinances in your area?
Where I live, we do. It's generally decided that from 9pm to 7am your neighbors should not be able to hear you radio/television/bullhorn while in their own homes, but seldom is anyone reported for breaking this law. Even worse, our next door neighbor likes to hangout on his driveway, setting off fireworks at around 10pm. >.>

To the point: Music that can be heard down the block is too loud during the night and early morning, when most people are trying to rest. In fact, I think it's too loud when it can be heard anywhere outside of your own property (be it your lawn, apartment or condo, etc).

But what about people blasting music in their cars? If your on a residential street and someone drives by blasting music (especially after dark) I'd have a problem with that, but if you're in your car and on a non-residential road and you decide you want to turn your stereo all the way up, go ahead. Anyone driving past you would likely only have to deal with you for a few seconds, so unless you're stuck in really bad traffic, I don't see who that's going to hurt.

EDIT: As far as damaging your own hearing, be my guest, but if you're likely to hurt someone else's hearing (Though I'm sure that'd take a pretty powerful system) it needs to be turned down.

I've listened to music loud my whole life, and my hearing is fine, however I don't listen to it _that loud_ longer then 1-3 hours anyway - and usually no more then three times a week, usually way less anyway. It depends on how bored I am. The point I was making, however, was the guy called the police to complain about people being on his lawn. >> <<

Yes, we have the same general times here as well, but people seldom report it so it doesn't really matter. Considering most people don't bother, or when they do by the time the police alive it is already turned down, so there is little the police can actually do.

I happen to agree here.

Bah, good points, I can't really debate anything you said. sad.gif

When someone is wearing head / earphones, and people feet away can hear it. There is a reason they are ear / headphones, and not a mini-stereo that can be carried around.

I agree, though I am guilty of doing it. Headphones don't typically give enough bass response at low volumes, so I have to turn it up to hear the full mix properly bluetongue.gif .

When people can hear the music coming from your headphones several yards away. When your stereo is distressing animals over a block away.
