Cars aren't loud; commercial vehicles are. (Relatively) So are motorcycles, and food truck generators.

- dpe82 2y agoThe Mustang that parks my street and operates 100% of the time in Sport Mode is the loudest vehicle I hear on a regular basis.
- surfingdino 2y agoSome care are loud. Especially those modded exhausts.
- geraldwhen 2y agoThe illegal street racing near me says otherwise.
- creer 2y agoYou can't equate "illegal street racing" to "cars". I mean you can but how is that going to address anything?
- blargey 2y agoAre pickup trucks "commercial vehicles"? Either way there's plenty of them in residential areas, revving up at 5am or rumbling home in the dead of night.
- Mountain_Skies 2y agoThey really don't need to be, but jerks sometimes do modify them to be loud even when idling. About five years ago I lived in a neighborhood where some jackass would idle his modified truck every morning at a quarter till 5am. He'd leave around 5am and you could hear the truck for at least a minute as he left the neighborhood and started accelerating hard on the highway. His house was across the street and four doors down and his truck still could be heard through my bedroom window which faced the backyard. I don't know how his next door neighbors tolerated it. This was an exurban area with lots of pickups and even a few commercial vehicles in the neighborhood but he was the only one whose vehicle was loud and it obviously was made that way intentionally.
- the__alchemist 2y agoNo; they do not have the loud engines I referred to.
- genter 2y agoYou've obviously never been passed by a straight piped Dodge Ram while riding a bike.
- abdullahkhalids 2y agoIf I am walking down the street, listening to something on my earphones, I inevitably have to pause/rewind if a non-commerical car is passing by. I could maybe get headphones, or some noise cancelling earphones, but I shouldn't have to.
- the__alchemist 2y agoValid; I should have clarified. This is a matter of degree, not kind. Commercial vehicles are much louder than cars. Especially at the lower speeds where engine noise dominates tire noise.
- the__alchemist 2y agoI will update this: Y'all have valid points regarding cars making noise: Non-modified personal vehicles are significantly less loud than commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and food truck generators.
