I want to know about the folks that have seemed to put in a stereo system where it louder outside than inside the vehicle?
-
My favorite is when they have all that stereo in some old piece of shit and when it drives by you can hear it shaking the car to pieces
-
I used to be that guy, then I got a job and realised I was an asshole.
Anyone still doing this into adulthood needs some help

That's not exactly a math problem, that's openly sadistic.

Interesting. Assholes in one way are assholes in another way.

I feel things and am a pacifist, but man does a tasteful loud exhaust sound good on an exotic. A V12 straight pipe Lamborghini or a catless PDK Porsche sounds glorious under load, but keep the 4 bangers fully muffled.
Your civic isn't cooler because it has 30 more HP and sounds like it has an exhaust leak at the head.

I generally take “studies” that merely “suggest” with at least a pound of salt. Anyone and their mom conduct “studies” and “polls” these days it would seem.

That’s the problem with social media. It enables misinformation via omission. Like in the instance of “studies”. Rarely are sample size or controls shared, or the process nor are the sponsors of the “study”.
I’m going to stop before I start ranting about my pet peeve about how untested theories are shared on social media as fact and has ruined and dumbed down our consumption of science news and information.

Nah that shit is ridiculous. Lamborghini's are just noisy as fuck. They are loud while idle, they are loud while going slow and they are retarded loud when going fast. And somehow it's legal because it's for rich assholes.

It's fine if people listen to their loud ass cars at home but bringing a vehicle that sounds like it moves with the power of 10 000 farts per second onto public roads is just not ok. It's like the people that listen to the worst music aloud on public transit, just get headphones for your music and car sounds.

I always figured a loud car/bike correlates more with a tiny pp but I guess science has spoken. Or it could be both.

I don't know if 16 counts as young man, but at that point in my life I did like my vehicle loud. I thought it was cool. By 20, it was embarrassing. I had an exhaust rust off about 10 years ago and couldn't get it fixed for a couple months. I definitely didn't feel cool then 😬 Thr silence after the repair was awesome!
-
When I was younger I thought a fast silent car would be awesome. Now we have electric super cars which is basically the same thing.
-
Some like their vehicles to fart really loud because they want everyone in ear shot to think about them for a brief moment.

Here is the study:
https://cipp.ug.edu.pl/A-desire-for-a-loud-car-with-a-modified-muffler-is-predicted-by-being-a-man-and-higher,162006,0,2.html
The abstract is a joke and the result makes pretty clear this study is for political purposes.
Their study is only in men that study business and the psychopathy part is a self reported quality. The article is also purely hate mongering.
Nobody likes loud assholes and their cars. But looks a lot like someone is gonna introduce some new legislation soon.
I hope so, put those shit cars in the car crushing machine
