| 1451 | Robert | Carillio | OH | US | For all the above reasons I support banning this kind of equipment. I want to add that sadly, this type of industry exports an image to the rest of the world about us, that has them resenting this culture...and therefore could lead to potential tourist visitors diverting to another place to spend their money.I can personally attest to this from talking to countless overseas friends who think this is a vile glamorization of a drug/thug culture. I, like many, have tolerated this "second hand noise" for 17 years, and it't time it stopped very soon. |
| 1452 | Shawn | Wallace | NY | US | Congress needs to protect our Commons, period. Restrict the sale of, possession and use of modified mufflers (of cars and motorcycles) and boom car products and give citizens a universal standard of laws that police can effectively utilize and enforce. |
| 1453 | Sue | Nunn | PA | US | The people who boom are actually very sad inside. Yes, we need laws to outlaw the equipment that produces powerful bass pulses; it is a form of weaponry.
But we also need a different society that puts more emphasis on community, so that young people are not so sad or angry that they want to hurt others. |
| 1454 | Anonymous | Anonymous | OR | US | I would love to see these ridiculous npise-polluters banned. My neighbor has one that he blares at all times of night and day. It is the worst sleep-depriver ever! |

| 1456 | mike | thornzo | NY | US | Boomcars and that ilk are antisocial and agressive behaviors by clueless morons. They need to be banned and the fined $500 for each infraction. After which the boom gets confiscated.
Exposure to noise, or unwanted sound, however, is far more than just a threat to our ears. William H. Stewart, former U.S. Surgeon General, stated, "Calling noise a nuisance is like calling smog an inconvenience. Noise must be considered a hazard to the health of people everywhere." |

| 1464 | Anonymous | Anonymous | KY | US | You can't expect them to know they are hurting them selfs, They don't even know how to keep their pants up. I have found that a hand full of celitex nails keeps them in their driveway |
| 1465 | Charles | Layne | TN | US | I've about had it with these morons who think their right to be loud trumps my right to peace and quiet. Enough! Let's start putting 'em in jail! |
| 1466 | Anonymous | Anonymous | IN | US | these stereos are should be not allowed to be manufactured at any capacity,there hellish a dispicable piece of equipment used only hurt others,this not music its a weapon.please put an end to this terrible problem. |
| 1467 | Anonymous | Anonymous | GA | US | I can't stand all the noise! I can't have any peace and quiet in my own home without the intrusive bass invading my privacy day and night! Boom cars going down the street have made my enjoyable neighborhood terrible to the point I'm considering selling my home and moving to another more quieter area. Why won't anyone enforce noise ordnances! |
| 1468 | Martin | Hoffmann | TX | US | In my city there is a 24 hour loud noise ordinance. I happen to be a cop in this city. Most of the tickets I write (and many arrests) are for loud "music". Those morons out there who think it is their right to make their fellow citizens suffer from second hand rap will pay for their ignorance in the form of heavy fines each and every time they make the mistake of "booming" in my presence. It is and always will be one of my greatest joys to arrest and cite these idiots. |

| 1475 | Anonymous | Anonymous | CA | US | "The sadder people are, the louder the speakers blare." While I feel for them, I feel for us as well. They don't keep the windows rolled down for *ventilation*, you know, they are down in order to inflict their noise on the maximum number of unwilling listeners. A thought from Schopenhauer: "A person's intelligence is inversely proportional to the amount of noise they are able to tolerate." |
| 1476 | Anonymous | Anonymous | CA | US | Boom cars are a menace to the quality of life in many neighborhoods. There is no necessity for these horrible consumer electronic terrorism devices. |
| 1477 | Mr. Lucas | Brice | CA | US | I've read a few comments that calls boom car owners "inconsiderate." They're not inconsiderate, they're purposely trying to annoy you. Don't believe it? Take a look at these boom car ads featuring headlines that say "Shake Seats and Annoy Neighbors." These antisocial cretins are declaring war on you because they have mental problems. |
| 1478 | Patrick | Hascall | HI | US | I live in Kailua Hawaii and I am ready to start throwing bricks through the windshields of the a-holes who have no consideration for others. Every minute or two my house shakes as these jerks drive by with all their windows down so everyone can hear. I've had it! There are car stereo laws in effect in Hawaii that never get inforced. Why not I ask? You can hear them coming from a mile away officers! Literally a mile away.
Pissed off in Hawaii!!! |
| 1479 | warren | garrison | AZ | US | For 10 years I have fought this problem. I came to Tucson Az. with an absolutely spotless police record at age 52 and now I have a rap sheet a mile long because each time I have complained about this problem, the people with the systems conveniently turn the situation on me. I have been accused of everything from basic threats and intimidation, to actually turning over a vehicle with a fork lift which is so totally absurd,but this is the extent these people will go to in defending their music and volume. |

| 1483 | Jack | Smith | NY | | Don't be surprised if you hear someone getting shot over this issue. When someone passes my house or sits behind me when I'm stopped at a light with their car booming away I just feel like I want kill them!!!! |
| 1484 | Anonymous | Anonymous | TX | US | Simply worn out from tehhe several a day that enter the neighborhood and feel they need to spread their joy to us all without our request or consideration. Most of all teh culprit that feels teh need to park curbside and idle the vehicle in front of an associates home leavingteh sound blasting while they visit people inside and talk on the porch. |

| 1486 | Tom | Petchell | OR | US | People need to be aware that they are harming others and it will not be tolerated in a civil society. |
| 1487 | T | OToole | CA | US | Actually I disagree with the petition text, but do belive there should be noise citation givedn to loud car/motocycle owners. These aren't loud because they need to be, they are loud because the owner has turned them into a giant penis to stroke frantically. To all you wankers: YOU SUCK! |
| 1488 | Lorraine | Hand | NJ | US | At long last, people finally making vocal their thoughts and frustrations about boom-boxes! I have often wondered who in the world was "minding the store" when the ok was given to market these ATROCIOUS things.
Spare the RIGHTS of those who aspire to PEACE AND QUIET, and get rid of boom-boxes PERMANENTLY now!! This situation has been allowed to fester, and has gone too far already. |
| 1489 | Anonymous | Anonymous | CA | US | These things are an assult on the general public and should be banned outright. The only good thing about them is perhaps they will interfere with thier owners ability to breed, leaving our society with a few less morons. Darwins theory of natural selection in action! |
| 1490 | Anonymous | Anonymous | MO | US | Kansas City has a noise ordinance, but the police have inclinationn to enforce it. I resent being awakened every night by the same 1 or 2 "boom cars" shaking my house. Their "rights" end where mine start. |
| 1491 | Anonymous | Anonymous | AL | US | It is a traffic hazzard, it is a fact that it runs up peoples blood pressure, it damages hearing, and it discriminates against peoples rights not to hear something that they don't want to. This noise pollution is just like any other type of pollution, and it brings down the quality of life in a community. It needs to stop asap ! |
| 1492 | Anonymous | Anonymous | GA | US | For the love of God, please stop this madness! Why are these fools and punks allowed to rule our streets and neighborhoods? |
| 1493 | Kimberly | Lamb | AL | US | Thank you for doing this. I hate these boom cars. |

| 1495 | Anonymous | Anonymous | FL | US | Finally a group who understands what this booming music does to a person. I have suffered palpitations from being awakened by these inconsiderate idiots, as well as severe pressure in my ear when a "boomer" went by outside. It is time this was taken seriously. They ARE a health hazard, and one that IS preventable. |
| 1496 | Anonymous | Anonymous | OH | US | These "boom cars" are loosening the foundations of my house! Not to mention waking me up in the middle of the night after a hard day's work. They are a menace to decent society. |

| 1498 | Stephen | Zatarain | LA | US | |
| 1499 | Terry | Farmer | TX | US | These terror machines do more harm to my community than dope. The musick they play is pure evil, the expression of negro wickedness. People should be free to defend themselves and their loved ones from these agressors with deadly force. Boom cars are psy ops weapons, they make our very homes unlivable. If the police will not protect the people from this menace then maybe We the People should correct this problem in an effective and permanant manner. |
| 1500 | Robert | Cain | MS | US | Like others who have posted here I am tired of idiots who boom their garbage noise at deafening levels intentionally and dare someone to say anything about it. I would like it to become a violation of law to do so. |
