We are talking about cars that, as someone in this thread pointed out, can be louder than jet engines. Whose noise can travel over a mile. That thunder around at night. In comparison, skating isn't that loud, and it's a daytime activity anyway. Maybe you've had some bad experiences - are people skating directly beneath your window?

These cars are silencer than skateboards on parks or pavements. Maybe you've had some good experiences, just seen people skating at a crowded park, and sound didn't feel piercing?
- magicalhippo 4y agoOutliers aside, a big difference between skateboards and cars is the kind of sound a skateboard makes. It's typically a lot less uniform just rolling on the pavement, with "random" sharp sounds if they're doing tricks or similar. For me at least this is a lot more annoying or stressful than a loud but uniform sound, even if it's louder than the skateboard.
