Loud Vehicles Obnoxious (1 Viewer)

[Ditka Butkus]

Just came back from lunch (I drive an open air jeep) and was sitting in the turn lane. Three vehicles passed by in the straight lane in succession....An extremely loud motorcycle.......a fast and furious type car with the ridiculous canned exhaust sound and finally a souped up straight pipe redneck truck. All of them were obnoxious....Trying to decide which one more than the others.

I don't mind loud bikes or muscle cars. Loud rice-grinders are humorous to me.

Not a fan of loud redneck trucks.

Extra nice when you are sitting outside having food or drinks. Wish cops pulled these jerkfaces over as much as they do seatbelt violators, who tend to make much less noise (at least until they actually crash).

 

[Kal El]

Motorcycles are often designed to sound loud, and I feel that the more a redneck tricks out a truck, the more they feel they have to compensate for something. But the worst is the canned exhaust, especially on older model cars. I saw what had to be a mid-80s Honda, a Civic, IIRC, that had that loud exhaust, and even though I was driving, I felt the urge to find a brick and throw it at his car.

Where's the pole option for whistle tips?

 

[Porkchop Sandwich]

I can handle the motorcycles and trucks, but the small cars sound like pissed off bumblebees.

I'm more bothered by loud motorcycles. Some people feel the need to throttle it really loud when driving around downtown, stoplight to stoplight. The obnoxious harley's are the absolute worst.

Our neighbor across the street used to wake up at 6 am in the summer, on the weekends, and start up his Harley. He would rev it for about 10 minutes, then let it sit and idle (loudly) for about another 10 minutes, before finally roaring off down the street.

Haven't heard him do it this year, so I think he might have died. And I'm actually cool with that.

You didn't repeat anything. The cars you're talking about are just usually Honda Civics.

Agree with this. Motorcycles are the smallest of these vehicles yet often the loudest for no reason other than attention.

"The whistle go "Woo-woooo!!" It's like an alarm clock."

 

[Binky The Doormat]

They all suck deeply.

Invasive to everyone within a half mile and worse as you are closer to the moving epicenter.

Is it ok to shake the windows of other people's home and cars?

These ### holes need to be heavily fined - the fines start very high and then get ridiculously high. 3rd offense - forfeit the vehicle.

I once saw one of these guys try and pull a quick u-turn in downtown SM, but ended up putting his Harley on the ground while his woman was on the back.

No option to vote for the Bass thump that can be heard for the 6 blocks as it approaches, then rattles the windows as it goes by, and then heard for another 6 blocks until it gets out of range?

 

[Ditka Butkus]

They all annoy the piss out of me, but it seems like the motorcycle and fast furious guys like to really accentuate their noisiness. I'm not a motorcycle guy, do they not idle well....Seems like every time they are sitting still they are revving the motor.

 

[belljr]

Motorcycles are for safety since you ##### don't look for them

 

[Ditka Butkus]

I believe they should probably look out for themselves, especially when more often than not they are going down the highway at 100 mph weaving in and out of traffic.

while making a #### load of unnecessary noise.

 

[17seconds]

Nothing is worse than a motorcycle. Especially on the freeway. You are going 80 and somebody flies by you at 100mph and it often sounds like a crash is occurring. Makes your heart jump. Sometimes I see others swerve they are jolted so much.

 

[Statcruncher]

Lol at the motorcycles are loud for safety. As if loud pipes are going to stop the teenager from texting while driving or the blue hair from signaling left and turning right.

 

[Statcruncher]

I'm not a motorcycle guy, do they not idle well....Seems like every time they are sitting still they are revving the motor.

Anyone who is revving their cycle at a stop is simply saying look at me and stroking themselves.

 

[Herb]

Yeah, at least the motorcycles are justified as it makes you aware of them and serve a safety purpose. Loud trucks are obnoxious, but part of me enjoys hearing a big engine revving- blame my love of muscle cars. But the rice rockets are the worst. Here are little girly cars, usually painted in blindingly ugly colors, frequently driven by little girly men, with tiny little engines and rear spoilers on a front wheel drive car for god's sake!!

Idiots.

And the thumping bass boys are incredibly annoying as well, as mentioned in a prior post. The rice rockets and bass boys have a lot of popultion overlap. Bass boys and motorcycles/redneck trucks have very little overlap.

 

[irish eyes]

My guess is these idiots were d-bags growing up and have just found a way to extend it into adulthood. On way home from holiday weekend and saw about 1000 ##### bikers a couple of which cut me off. Watching tools like this crash & burn would be a delight.

It's tough to stroke yourself with one hand on the clutch, and the other on the throttle. I know, I've tried.

And I would add to this the idiots who blast their subwoofer so loud the bass shakes your car when you're sitting at a stoplight. I want to get out and punch them in the face repeatedly.

Every time I see Bass Boys I think of fishing. The music can be annoying but at least it has some rhythm. I'm now leaning towards motorcycles being more annoying....I heard one leave my neighborhood the other night and I guess the sound was traveling extra good as I heard him hit every gear until he was in top gear and then continued until I bet he was 2 miles down the highway.

obnoxious redneck trucks with the smoke stacks that release the black smoke cloud when they push it

My first thought when I saw this. Hilarious!!

Honorable mention goes to the diesel trucks that spew thick black smoke in addition to the loud exhaust

I'd be cool with the death penalty for all these guys.

 

[Fat Nick]

Motorcycles and it's not even close.

I'm not saying that the others aren't annoying, but on a decibel loudness, motorcycles are by far the worst. I also used to have a jeep, and when a loud Harley would rev next to me, it actually hurt my ears. I think big trucks with Magnaflow mufflers are loud and annoying, and I hate the coffee can mufflers on rice rockets, but they pale in loudness to bikes.

All I heard all day yesterday was the sound of bikes going up and down the road. The sound just echoed throughout the hollow I live in. So annoying.

 

[El Floppo]

I'm in downtown NYC (Manhattan)- summer time is the absolute worst for motorcycles cruising our street (major East/West thoroughfare through popular neighborhoods). They rev and rev and rev... ####ers. HEY- LOOK AT ME- I MAKE LOTS OF NOISE!!!!! ####### idiots. And they ride through in packs... I mean PACKS- like the type that beat up that guy in the Range Rover last year. Run red lights, do tricks, all on a busy street where lots of people have kids (hello) and dogs. We don't have any problem with other vehicles (aside from ambulances, fire trucks, police cars... but what are ya gonna do.)

 

[Timmay]

Easily Big Redneck trucks. Not only do you have to deal with the sound, but all the black exhaust that spills out of their smoke stacks. Maybe it is because I live in KY, that I see these more frequent than the others.

At the risk of angering the motorcycle-riding population here, is this REALLY for safety purposes? I mean, come on. Does a guy with a Harley think, "I need to go get me some open pipes because...SAFETY FIRST!" I think it's for the same reason the trucks and rice rockets put the loud mufflers on. It's a giant "look at me," and maybe a little bit of a performance gain. Safety is a nice excuse.

Right. And yet these safety nuts don't wear helmets? Uh-huh.

They are fast.

You'd be very surprised how these "little" cars can blow by your "muscle" cars.

5% of these cars have "real go-fast parts." 95% of them have "look and sound like you go fast parts."

I'm not disputing your statement. They can do amazing things to a 4-cyl car...but very very few of them are more than just an Auto-Zone muffler and a big air filter, some stickers, and a giant spoiler.

 

[Kal El]

I don't care for the quick bikes that people feel they need to race at 100+ mph up the freeway, but Harleys don't bug me. Still, my neighbor will sometimes start up his Harley at 10pm or later and go somewhere. Just strikes me as odd.

 

[Guest]

Not sure "loud pipes save lives" is valid, but riding in groups can be a safety measure.

100% this.

Some fast-and-furious wannabe making his 4 banger Civic sound like it has some balls. If I had anyone with this living in my neighborhood, I'd hope they'd park it outside at night. They'd be sans muffler the next morning.
