| 2 | Johnny | Bob | IL | US | It should be illegal to modify a vehicle's from-the-factory sound system to intentionally increase the decibel level. Businesses which install large amplifiers or boom boxes in cars must be shut down, made 100% illegal. Vehicle owners who violate this law should be put in jail, fined, and their property confiscated!

| 3 | Ken | Savage | CA | US | No Boom Cars allowed!! |
| 4 | Elizabeth | King | KY | US | i am very concerned about the health
problems these boom amplifiers can
and do cause. we are having problems
that disturb our sleep every night. thru
the day and night these boom cars
acually vibrate thru my home, |
| 5 | James | Kaufmann | NY | US | I agree with the spirit of the petition, so I am submitting my "signature." However, I think it can and should be improved upon. There are direct quotes from the D.O.J. report that are not given proper citation. Also, I don't think it serves our cause to be the judge of what should be termed "music." On the contrary, we should emphasize that it is not the type of music, but the barrier-penetrating low frequency, high intesity component that causes the problem. |

| 7 | Phillip | Tull | MD | US | |
| 8 | john | chappelow | AK | US | The unreasonable noise generated by these "boom cars" has become a problem even where i live in Alaska. It has got to the point where one cannot live in a town or city and expect not to be offended by these people. I believe that these acts constitute violations of fundamental American rights. |

| 10 | Chris | Stiles | CA | US | 20 years ago, I never would have believed that the
day would come when I would not be able to walk the streets in
my community or visit a park or go to a shopping mall with out
being assaulted by POUNDING and THUMPING concussion
waves of low frequency bass. This industry
needs to be shut down and wiped out and driven into
bankruptcy via aggressive law suits, fines and
siezures of equipment. I will back organizations that
are sending the message from the grass roots to the political
leaders that this is no longer tolerable.
Thank you. |

| 12 | BT | Pritchett | CA | US | Boom cars are making our lives miserable. |
| 13 | Richard | Thayer | FL | US | Yes! This "Parking Lot
Pack" need to be taught a
lesson in consideration
for other's.
Like Cleveland; all cities & towns should have the power to
confiscate their vehicles
and be made to pay all of
the court costs plus,
a large sum to retreive
their vehicles.
Or a sentence of 1 year
in jail/or both, after
first offense. |

| 15 | dougie | payne | MA | UK | boom cars rule, banning them would just be wrong. get a fucking life |
| 16 | Ava | Beath | MN | US | My Grandson suffered from a seizure disorder. Every time one of these cars passed my house it would send Adam into seizures. It's time to stop these people. |
| 17 | haydee | landen | FL | US | |
| 18 | Bridgette | Davis | CA | US | Something truley needs to be done. I thought my neighborhood was the only one being taken over by this noise. Let's continue the fight!!!!! |
| 19 | John | Sawoski | CA | US | |
| 20 | Jay | Yarbrough | TX | US | I think it is far beyond the time when something must be done about this problem. I for one, become nauseated as the thumping continues in cars around me. I've had to pull over and get out to prevent getting "sick" all over my car. |
| 21 | Frank | Schippell | CA | US | |
| 22 | Rev. White Bear | Barnard | FL | US | To Whom This May Concern, We have complained for over 3yrs to local law enforcement with not results. An Elder neighbor, a WWII, Korean & Vietnam Veteran died because of this noise, he had told me that the low frequency caused the steel plate in his head to vibrate, he like myself also had presure on the heart from this 'boom boom' noise. If the law cannot stop this problem then 'we' the citizens must take the law into our own hands, using the Judicial system and bring a lawsuit against these companies whose only goal is profits and not the health of humans. Thank you for creating this petition to bring a voice to the voiceless. |
| 23 | Glory | Burks | OH | US | |
| 24 | Paul | Makulski | | CA | These inconsiderate drivers should have their vehicles impounded and their stereo equipment confiscated. |
| 25 | Bruce | Glad | NM | US | Please stop the madness |
| 26 | John | Barnard | | | |
| 27 | Ronda | Sewald | IN | US | I am a student at Indiana University, Bloomington and I can't even get away from the noise at the main library. All of the current periodicals and class reserve materials are kept in a room with reinforced concrete walls and some of the thickest glass I've ever seen and you can still here bass! During the school year, boom cars go by in a continuous stream and make it impossible to read. If you have a class assignment involving the materials in the room, you have to submit yourself to hours of torture at the hands of boom car drivers. |
| 28 | Honey | Jackson | FL | US | I totally agree that these sub-woofers that blow your ears out are a nuisance and laws should be passed to stop the groups of people who use these to disturb the peace.Pass the anti-boomcar legislation and make it law!Thank you |

| 31 | B | Landen | FL | US | If there ever was a time to take action it's now, we can't wait for this problem to become the cancer that the tobacco companies brought us! It took decades to finally bring some resolution to that problem let's not let this problem take that long, it will be a nightmare for America! |
| 32 | Arlene | Love | OK | | I've had people treat me like there is something wrong with me because I am sensitive to noise. Thank you for making an effort to connect us. |
| 33 | Peter | Nielsen | CT | US | Noise is domestic terrorism today. As anthrax was likely spread by some hate group right here in the US, so is unneccessary noise. Noise is compensation for either lack of intellectual or sexual ability. It is an affront to normal, hardworking people who simply have the right to peace and quiet. |
| 34 | Gale | Hamilton | | | |
| 35 | Drew | Deshazo | CA | US | I think the time to adress this issue is long overdue.
There is an obvious linke to this behavior and other criminal activites such as
auto theft, street racing, and drugs.
Sincerely,
Drew DeShazo |
| 36 | Jerry | Hamilton | OR | US | If you are in the mountains, desert or sea shore it is endless noise from loud boomboxs. |

| 38 | James | Kaufmann | NY | US | |
| 39 | Sue | Nickum | CA | US | I think the man across the street in back of me installs and/or repairs these things. I live in a retirement mobile home community across the street from his house, and I get to hear and feel it 7 or 8 times a day, every single day. I've called the police and stopped him twice, but he always starts it up again. |

| 42 | Kay | Brown | MI | US | In the last apartment complex I lived in, I was surrounded by 3 seperate apartments, and all those neighbors played their stereos so loud, I had anxiety attacks, threw things at the walls, pounded on the walls, and complained to the manager. Those neighbors "ganged" up on me, so to speak, and told the manager I was harrassing them! I was evicted from the apartment, now live in another apartment, and going through problems with just one next door neighbor who only plays his music loud on weekends. I've only lived in this apartment since late May, but moving into a mobile home in a few weeks. I am extremely sensitive to noise, expecially to BOOM cars, loud trucks, rude Harley Davidson riders with no exhaust system. Everyone just wants to be rude, loud, aggressive, and get attention any way they can! As someone with Bipolar Disorder, I've known what it's like to feel suicidal / homicidal due to excessive noise. Bascially, it all drives me insane! The new mobile home park I'll be moving into seems to be quiet, but if I have any trouble with noise and the park manager does nothing about it, I refuse to move once again. I will take action with City Hall or whomever I have to contact to help with this problem. Excessive noise is intolerable, and it's unfortunate that many people have turned their backs on this problem, or choose to desensitive themselves to their environment. |

| 44 | Ivor | Heddek | | TM | I thought they was just very loud walkmans |
| 45 | Daniel | Bracken | NY | | Let's push for noise standards that police can enforce on site! |
| 46 | Walter | Grace | MI | US | Yesterday i had the misfortune of being next to one these thugs although my windows were rolled up I was still deafened by the noise |
| 47 | nancy | toler | AZ | US | I couldn't agree more! When I read in today's Arizona Republic that Ford, Mazda and Nissan car companies are teaming with major audio companies to offer megawatt sound systems in entry-level cars, I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. My first thought was, are they completely out of their minds! That awful noise chased us from our last community, and I can only hope that someone with the power to do something is finally paying attention. |
| 48 | Ed | Meyer | IA | US | This audible assault is considered acceptible in my community. Even though levels reach close to 100db(c) inside my home. |
