Noise pollution is a real issue though. Not sure this thread is approaching it in a great way though. It's becoming the typical attack a particular culture or group kind of thread. Kinda makes you wonder what the original purpose of the thread was...

I would like to see health department conduct a real study on hearing loss in NYC. I suspect between the subway noise, the constant din of construction, people's own personal use of loud music whether via headphones or speakers, and the excessive honking that most people in this city have suffered substantial hearing loss over time.

I conceded right after you came into the thread that if I have seen it, it's rare. To the point that it's not even sticking out to me in my mind. At the very least, not on the level as these punks. So I don't know where you're going with this...

The highlight & gift to me is that most of them will have severe hearing loss in the next decade or so.

Even with headphones, some of those music can be heard on the subway a half car down...I can't imagine if they can pass a hearing test.

People vent regularly on here. That's one of the major purposes of the thread, and I'm not gonna bite my tongue in order to coddle a particular culture. Another purpose was a general inquiry into wtf these people are doing when they do this?

This is my concern too. I was ready to sue NYC MTA for train-related noises but was laughed at when I asked for support on this forum.

Umm....you really need to ask why people are playing loud music in a car while driving?
Be honest....what type of answer did you expect? You really can't formulate your own theory?
What type of answer could one provide that would make you say, "Ahh, that must be it..."

Why, SeventhFloor...why do people blow out their eardrums and peacock themselves out around any given neighborhood by blasting this nonsense so everybody and their grandmother (literally) has to stop their conversation for a few seconds until they pass? Why sit on the edge of a park in an otherwise quiet neighborhood and bump their pimped out Honda Accord so loud that they can't even talk to each other? Is it to show folks in the park what sh1t music sounds like really really loud on a mediocre sound system? Yes, I am really asking that. What is the point? What does this do for them? Seems like a rational question to me.
