When that happens to me, I think something is wrong with the car, until I see the dub with the bike. I survive just fine on my old honda 750.

The heck is jungle music lol? If you have a problem with someone playing loud music I recommend just shutting your windows and going about your day.

If they were blasting Dave Matthew's band or Sarah Mclaughlin, would you have any objection to it?

Well, those two would likely have more of a high pitched tinny sound, as opposed to the deep BOOM BOOOM that rattles windows.

My houses sits 220’ from the road, and I’m not sure I’d hear Dave Matthews Band from inside my house, but I certainly can hear the booming.

If they had their volume at a normal level, then shutting my windows should be all it takes for me not to hear it, but that’s often not the case.

Louder or deeper exhaust sounds are not for safety, rather for the “cool factor” of the vehicle!

Harley Davidson’s have a patented sound that bikers love and associate it with the brand while the Porsche SUV offers a dial adjustment to get more of a deep rumble sound. It’s certainly not a safety feature!

And if they do, it's a very expensive hearing aide for tinnitus.
That's the constant ringing in the ears combat vets develop.
Or like my mother, too many rock concerts w/o ear protection.

When I had a loud system in my car, I used the boom boom bass to get slow pokes out of my way.

Works every time.

Since there’s still too many people out there that like to troll other drivers by not moving out of the left lane, I’ll be installing a new system in my present car just for that purpose.

I like my music loud, and in my new Ram the audio system is one of the best factory systems I've heard. Bass hits hard, no vibrations or distortion. Regardless , If I'm listening to Slayer or Public Enemy I do turn it down at stop lights. I generally have my windows up anyway...

Loud and good are mutually exclusive.
