Loud cars should be banned! (Rant)

Post Reply New Topic

There's these local races my parents go to I don't go anymore cause of how loud it is even when I'm at home I can still hear them miles away.

To all loud car drivers who may be reading this. Please know it really bothers some people. It causes a physiological response that we can't simply "ignore" or "learn to live with". To learn more, google autism spectrum disorder.

I find noise canceling headphones helpful when it comes to stuff like this.

My brother's autistic af and his special interest is Formula 1.

Personally, I wish they'd ban paper bags.
That quiet crinkling sound drives me proper mad.

Uuuuh, surely exhaust note symphony music isn't causing accidents.

Yes, die hard tuner types in live with ICE vehicles do like to hear them.. and will spend a bunch of money on exhaust work for both performance and sound. It's an entire industry. Akropovic is probably the most famous exhaust maker for high end supercars and motorcycles - the man has some sort of otherworldly capability to squeeze performance and beautiful sounds out of engines via exhaust engineering.

Better that people hear them coming vs. get smoked by a silent car. Plus they sound cool. Everything from the rumbles of old school muscle cars to the hummingbird/sewing machine sounds of modern supercars.

Vancouver is the supercar capital of North America and we has a problem with police harassing car/motorcycle owners with modified exhausts. Some wealthy people have even moved away from the city to live in peace with their performance machines.. all thanks to old people in parts of West Vancouver and North Vancouver complaining about hearing exhaust notes on the sea to sky highway. Bunch of whiners, IMO. Let people find joy in what they want even if you don't particularly care for it.

We need more cars that sound like this:

There is a house across from mine that fixes cars and works on them as a business from his house. He has normal work hours so he works on these cars when others bring them in usually after 5 pm on weekdays and at any time on the weekends.

A lot of these cars are louder, older, or sportsy. He tests them out and the customers that bring them in often speed in the neighborhood. Either a frequent customer, or a person from my neighbor's household owns the loudest one that is often there. When it starts, it starts abruptly and very loudly. It scares me and my husband when we stay at my parent's house. I stay at my parent's house on the weekends and fridays so I hear those cars in front of my house all the time. When the loud and abrupt one starts, it usually scares me so bad that my chest hurts for up to an hour after and I get shaky. So even though it is a nuisance to hear a bunch of car sounds, have more traffic in a suburb, and have a bunch of cars parked and busying up a neighborhood road, it is the sudden and loud sounds that bother me and scare me the most.

edit: the neighbor across from me has also done other things outside of his business that could cause some people to complain about the noise or mess or whatever. But most neighbors wouldn't think to call police or whatever to warn or talk to them about it. A couple of neighbors have just tried to talk to the loud neighbors and it did help some of the noise issues after 8 pm. No one would call police probably because most of the neighborhood knows this family is housing some illegally immigrant family members. We want the noise and mess issues to be solved but we wouldn't risk breaking up a family for just for nuisances.

My area also in general has a drunk driving and street racing problem since we have a lot of straight country roads. I live a 30 minute walk away from the nearest popular street racing road and their racing noises still sound so clear to me at night.

My daughter who has autism used to scream the house down at the sound of sellotape being pulled off the reel.

I was very young when I had her and had absolutely no parenting skills let alone autism knowledge so it used to really bother me the way she reacted.

She's fine with it now though
