| 1601 | Charles | Zack | MI | US | You're all absolutely right. Most of you took the words right out of my mouth and said exactly what I would of said. |
| 1602 | William F. | Barnard | CA | US | Sound that can be controlled and is designed to invade and disturb the peace inside my home is an invasion of privacy. It is similar to someone intentionally filling a neighbor's home with a noxious vapor. The issue has become serious in my neighborhood and needs to be remedied. |
| 1603 | JOHN | LUTTRELL | GA | US | BETTER STILL.....BAN NIGGERS!!! |
| 1604 | Anonymous | Anonymous | CA | US | sick and tired of this! boom-cars make me in return aggressive and i want to do bad things to the "people" that use them against me as I feel attacked and subdued in my own freedom of having some quiet time in this already overly hectic and noisy world. hope some day this will be solved somehow, but i guess in the end one has to give in and move to a neighborhood that deals with it by mere financial power...meaning where the cops actually have to enforce the law. |
| 1605 | Mark Thompson | Thompson | MS | US | I hear it about every night 10, 11, sometimes as late as 12 midnight. This car just sits in a certain persons driveway and just booms away. I call the cops but its like they know they are comming and just turn it off/ drive off. I can't stand it! I was in the Army in artillery and heard that kind of noise all the time. Now I just want to hear myself think. Please stop the boomcars. |
| 1606 | Anonymous | Anonymous | CA | US | I hope a law gets passed on this. |
| 1607 | Jim | Freschi | MN | US | I have been wanting a law against boom cars for over a decade! |
| 1608 | tommy | ervin | FL | US | this noise is a total and complete violation of my right to enjoy peace and quite. |

| 1611 | Felix | Crommie | FL | US | "Boom Cars" are operated by self-absorbed teens desperate for attention. They proceed under the false premise that we the audience are impressed with their system and their choice in music. Along with graffiti, I can think of nothing else that so quickly aids the descent of a middle class neighborhood in the suburbs towards a crime ridden ghetto of the inner city. |
| 1612 | Anonymous | Anonymous | FL | US | I have a weak heart an,I am scared to drive anymore because if i can`t get away from them I will pass out.I already done it sitting at a red light.it isn`t just a noise issue it is a health problem for many.I have been fighting lake county commissionersfor over a year now .now they close the floor to the public when i walk through the door.the law isn`t any better.half of them have boom boxs as well. |
| 1613 | Larry | Edwards | FL | US | I have been calling my local Police, City Mayor & Commissioners for a year on this problem with no results. I agree Make Laws that we can require Them to enforce and STOP this problem. |
| 1614 | Anonymous | Anonymous | FL | US | It's irritating that you can hear them a mile away and when they get up next to you, you think YOUR windows are going to burst from the loud music (If you want to call it music)!! Please do away with booming cars! |
| 1615 | Annice | Fawcett | FL | US | |
| 1616 | Ed | Helmboldt | CA | US | Yes, please do ban these things as they serve no positive or constructive social purpose whatsoever!
Moreso and conversely those who own/use such sterephonic amplification equipment in their cars create tremendous noise pollution, antagonize and stress the general public, create irritability and destabalize peace and calm.
Plus they're annoying as hell! Out with them, NOW! |
| 1617 | Duane | Savage | TX | US | Stop the noise NOW!!!!!! |
| 1618 | Anonymous | Anonymous | FL | US | I am a veteran with PTSD. Can't stand those loud boom cars.Makes me want to do illegal things to them. You can't hear any "music" but you can hear that damn BOOM BOOM for over 1/2 mile. Local law can't seem to care about it. If you try to explain about being a veteran from a combat zone and how the booming bothers you, you are just classified a signal 20 (nuts) |
| 1619 | Anonymous | Anonymous | TX | US | I would personaly love to see a law that would allow us the decent person out there to declare open hunting season on any moron who feels compelled to "express" its self with their subwofer..
by killing these morons, we would simply then be "expressing" ourselves.
its about time people woke up to this problem befor its too late.. |
| 1620 | Jay | C | CA | US | I think i will using this kind of device booming the city hall mayor senator or governor's office every day see how they going to like this happening every day in our community, force them taking serious action to solve the problem of the poor low class idiot's stupid noise hobby problem. Or allow me shoot this idiots as my hobby. Who give a damn of this stupid boom car hobby? just make sure no one can hear you trash but you self. |
| 1621 | Georgina | Wiede | TX | US | I am tired of thie noise assault to the senses. I could feel my body vibrating yesterday with a van at a local store who had massive amps installed and played at full throttle. Why this isn't illegal is beyond me. |

| 1623 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | | Please ask your friends to sign this. This is a necessary law. Most people affected won't complain, and many of those feel intimidated by the kind of insensitivie people who would use the noisemakers. They put others' lives at risk, and annoy the rest of us. |
| 1624 | Anonymous | Anonymous | WA | US | Fighting this toxin in my own neighborhood, I find that law enforcement needs to be educated about the differences between low frequency and high frequency noise. |

| 1628 | Anonymous | Anonymous | TX | US | I can only imagine what this constant pounding sounds like to soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Boom cars aren't part of anyone's "culture" or "freedom of expression" -- they are physical assault vehicles. |
| 1629 | Joanna | Oseguera | CA | US | Boom car cause people, including myself, anxiety. Owners and users of boom cars should be fined and face legal penalties, but noise ordinances are not enforced. Hence, people continue to disrespect the community they live in. They are a public nuisance. |

Title XXIII
MOTOR VEHICLES
Chapter 316
STATE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL
View Entire Chapter
316.3045 Operation of radios or other mechanical soundmaking devices or instruments in vehicles;
(1) It is unlawful for any person operating or occupying a motor vehicle on a street or highway to operate or amplify the sound produced by a radio, tape player, or other mechanical soundmaking device or instrument from within the motor vehicle so that the sound is:
(a) Plainly audible at a distance of 25 feet or more from the motor vehicle; or
(b) Louder than necessary for the convenient hearing by persons inside the vehicle in areas adjoining churches, schools, or hospitals.
(2) The provisions of this section shall not apply to any law enforcement motor vehicle equipped with any communication device necessary in the performance of law enforcement duties or to any emergency vehicle equipped with any communication device necessary in the performance of any emergency procedures.
(3) The provisions of this section do not apply to motor vehicles used for business or political purposes, which in the normal course of conducting such business use soundmaking devices. The provisions of this subsection shall not be deemed to prevent local authorities, with respect to streets and highways under their jurisdiction and within the reasonable exercise of the police power, from regulating the time and manner in which such business may be operated.
(4) The provisions of this section do not apply to the noise made by a horn or other warning device required or permitted by s. 316.271. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shall promulgate rules defining "plainly audible" and establish standards regarding how sound should be measured by law enforcement personnel who enforce the provisions of this section.
(5) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318. |
| 1633 | Anonymous | Anonymous | NM | US | 1) Weapons of mass destruction made for the audio equivalent of car bombs! 2) City leaders are in contempt of own sound ordinances by allowing these sound systems, which are specifically designed to violate that ordinance and even marketed as such and that incites civil disobedience. 3) I have witnessed police refuse to enforce laws resulting in dereliction of duty, betrayal of public trust, and failing to "keep the peace". How many officers privately own such audio systems? 4) These systems are a form of human rights abuse due to growing or constant oppression, depression, and anxiety they cause plus persistent sleep disturbance, if not deprivation; civil rights abuse due to violation of city and state laws supposedly protecting "quality of life" and having one group impose their beliefs and lifestyles on others who are not being protected or can't protect their right not to be subjected against their will to all this; environmental abuse by violating the natural conditions we are physically designed to live in; child abuse if children are being subjected to these systems as I have witnessed as well, and explicit pornographic rap music was being played! 5) Petitions are useless since you could file class action suits against your city or town for the above - Include criminal negligence and willful disregard for human life. Mental disorders such as PTSD could be used as fuel as well, particularly if an Iraq veteran going after the wrong terrorists who are actually here in our own backyards! 6)Get all evidence of the violating vehicles such as plate numbers, photos, video; studies on the effects of low frequency sound waves on mental and physical well-being that have been done; proof of police failures, if any, to enforce laws such as vehicle number of officer and video; evidence of any city failures to stop these systems such as arrest records and traffic violation records - Are more systems being sold than cars being ticketed or even seized? What about environmental impact studies? Wee they done by anyone - City, State, Federal Governments? Manufacturers and retail businesses? Environmental groups? Collect evidence of loud music and audio systems being used in torture or like it was used in Panama against Noriega. How many in your city have homes and apartments along main, heavily trafficked roads where your front doors and windows are about 25 feet away from street? 7) Seriously get advice from civil lawyers, ACLU, environmental lawyers or groups, and human rights lawyers or groups to get legal action using above evidence and testimony to hopefully establish a legal precedent to eventually go after your state, and federal government to cease and desist, ban and/or severely restrict these systems as we do pollutive emissions, car speeds, seat belts, helmets laws, and so on for public safety. |
| 1634 | ELIZABETH | HARRISON | AL | US | I live close to a "Disco" in a county that does not have a noise ordinance, so every Saturday night I have to listen to their LOUD BOOMING until about 2:00 p.m. in the morning. I'm getting sick of it. I want it stopped. |
| 1635 | phyllis | dodge | FL | US | they are outrageous and forces me to listen to the garbage. |
| 1636 | Lesley M. | Austin | FL | US | We have a child on a ventilator at home and it becomes very annoying and wakes him up when he is resting. |
| 1637 | Steve | Dunlap | ID | US | Our pleasant city becomes less so every year as boom cars, unmuffled motorcycles and absurdly loud diesel pickup trucks proliferate. The majority of people who don't think ridiculously noisey vehicles are cool deserve to be heard too. |
| 1638 | Galbraith | Bob | FL | US | Most places have a noise ordinance, the problem lies in will it be enforced ? Tinted windows are a perfect example, there is a limit to the darkness allowed, but is anything done ? I think it's a great idea to ban these stereos. The garbage that pounds out of them, you almost have to be a drug addict to listen to them, with the offensive language, why else would you ? No one but them wants to hear that. To say nothing of the safety factor, not only emergency vehicles, but don't dare to look at these people, you'll probably get shot. Yeah, my vote goes to banning them, and stiff fines to those that don't "listen" to the laws. |
| 1639 | hunter | ebey | LA | US | Please help make boom cars go away. I can hear them in my house with the doors closed and the windows closed as well. |
| 1640 | Anonymous | Anonymous | AZ | US | Why are we being allowed to be victimized inside our own homes for the sake of someone elses "entertainment"? In military psy-ops they use music, much akin to boom cars, to unsettle, aggravate, and disrupt the enemy. Is this allowable on OUR streets? |

| 1642 | Jose | Capella | CA | US | I don't even hate the music that these people play, but when I'm sitting at home, all I hear is an annoying rumble. Please put a stop to this. |
| 1643 | Anonymous | Anonymous | AZ | US | These boomers are a**holes who get their thrills subjecting other people to torture. They know we have no recourse. It is so bad
I am to the point of wanting to use spike strips to damage their cars or something else drastic. We need help now! |

| 1646 | Lance | McCrickard | NC | US | listening to music is a privilege not a right! There needs to be laws made to where car audio systems can only be so loud and can't be hear more than 10 feet away with the windows rolled down at max volume. Also bass in car stereos needs to be abolished. If someone gets caught with a loud audio system, first offense: hefty fine. Second offense: heftier fine and confiscation of audio equipment and destroyed. Third offense all of the above plus jail time and impounding the vehicle. Same needs to be done with car with illegal exhaust systems. Does anyone know where I can find a city or state to live in that has seriously cracked down on this problem and have a zero tollerance of this? Also somewhere that does have a ban on hip hop music, loud bass, loud cars? |
| 1647 | Anonymous | Anonymous | AZ | US | The junk cars with the 'fart can' exhaust are just as bad as the boomers. Man those 'farts cans' are loud and obnoxious. We have tons of them in ghetto west Phoenix. |
