Lower the Boom!

I'm HOPING someone did this as a joke...i mean..."audio terrorism", "boom cars"...LOL!

[calais_cruzin]

"if its too loud ur too old" ...rings a bell

[kane88]

"Did you know that this form of sonic assault is an intentional orchestration by a group of American corporations with the blessing of some of our highest-ranking politicians?"

really?
i mean... really?

EDIT: actually after reading through the whole thing, that whole site is a bloody joke...

[Wrayza]

Haha, part of my email made it to the FAQ page years ago, second last one I think. Old people with nothing better to do :P

[ucrvme]

i payed $20 thousand for my car another $6 doing it up and $1500 doing my stereo as they can see MY is the key word

[BOY1236]

thats why they give tickets for it, WTF ??!!

[acarmody]

It has been documented by the World Health Organization (WHO) and others that boom car noise:

• Causes physical damage at the cellular level (my skin is degrading???)
• Can damage human organs (and my organs!?!?!?)
• Induces hearing loss (fair enough)
• Impedes learning and cognitive development processes (I listen to loud music so I'm getting stupider?)
• Evokes hypertension (I get more tension from work)
• Leads to aggressive behavior (only when people have a go at me for having a stereo in my car)
• Causes stress and sleep loss (really, I sleep quite well)
• Leads to depression (going to work is more depressing)

There are other clear reasons why this type of noise needs to stop: (only some listed)

• Boom car operators are often associated with many other types of crimes.
• It is often too difficult, if not impossible, to identify the perpetrator of acoustic terrorism (WTF! I don't have a stereo to induce terror)due to distances, speed, and physical obstacles, thus preventing the reporting of an offense.
• The aggressive nature of the perpetrators has directly lead to the murders of innocent victims. (I listen therefore I murder)
• Boom car equipment manufacturers base their marketing platform on senseless aggression, social agitation, and the destruction of the well-being of decent citizens.
• Boom cars are often used to announce the receipt of a new drug shipment to a neighborhood. (Is that why when I play Eminem all these drugos come over)
• Amplified noise was used effectively as a weapon by U.S. forces to defeat General Manuel Noriega. (I don't think my stereos that loud)

WTF is up with this site. Are they all high???

[Coxy_vs]

"Boom cars have been closely linked to murder, aggression, gangs, drugs, speeding, reckless driving, DUI, underage drinking, and other crimes."

HAHAHA WTF?! And i thought i was just listening to music, who knew this meant i was a criminal in training!?

This site has to be a joke...or have some people really become that sad...

[CANYONERO]

i loled at this, i just bought two more subs and an amp on thursday.... haha, hope my neighbors dont see this site lol.

[(CODEZ)]

seriously how gay, as if it affects them that much

[Tsunamix]

Be a littlwe considerate - I mean I have a decent stereo and don't mind loud tunes, but if you can get done for undue noise by squealing your tires, then you can get done for undue noise by too loud a stereo.

The key to this whole deal is consideration. You are more than welcome to have your super drag race stereo. You are not welcome to use it in my street at full noise, the same as you wouldn't be welcome to use your nitro sniffing big block at full noise in my street.

Some people work night shift - they could be in any street. If your in a carpark on top of Westfields and your stereos up - no-one is likeley to care. If your parked outside a block of flats, odds are your gonna piss someone off, be it the nightshift worker or the mom with babies asleep.

So - have a loud stereo, just be nice with it. Save your burnouts for track days and your 164Db max for sound off comps. Stay under the 85db the rest of the time

'' 2 out of every 1000 babies born are deaf or hearing impaired''

Yeah, and your point is.....?

[CANYONERO]

night shift workers chose there career. I choose to be awake and sleep when the majority of people are doing the same so tough luck. anyways i dont have mine loud in suburbia, only on main roads and highway.

but if i did do night shift and someone went past with a sub blaring, how could i justify being mad, i mean im the odd one out being in bed when everyone else is enjoying life.

[PORT3R]

the aggressive nature of the perpetrators has directly lead to the murders of innocent victims.

I knew it. I knew that those subs were actually training me to kill innocent victims... I knew it all along! Those crafty crafty manufacturers... training us to do their dirty work without us realising!

Oh... i also just found http://www.lowertheboom.org/links/oi04_homeless.html ... i lol'd my ass off

[BURNOUT BAZZA]

*[It just last for a couple seconds. Why don't you just get over it.]

How about if you take just one kick in the gonads, my little truant? How about one little laser beam in the ole retina. It's just one time. It only lasts a couple of seconds, and it's not very loud at all! Oh, and then take one from my friend in a minute or two, then another, then another, then...
Can you honestly not even figure that one out?*

my fave one from the Faq... man these people here r on some special diet or drinking the bong water or something.

oh and not to mention this at the bottom of the page: Many more boom car operators' defensive quotes are just too inane to print or respond to. Some illustrate a disturbing level of academic retardation and mental illness.

[nemesis_adrasteia]

You know that the thrumming, pulsing boom from today's car stereos bothers you and invades your life like few things can. Do you know why?

You know you are miserable and perhaps literally sick of the low-frequency bass. Did you know that this form of sonic assault is an intentional orchestration by a group of American corporations with the blessing of some of our highest-ranking politicians?

The research will amaze you. You don't need to take our word for it. The more independent research you do, the more you will validate what is on this site. This new technology generates new considerations that must be addressed today.

We need to lower the boom.

sounds like something from an infomercial

[nemesis_adrasteia]

Not taking timely and appropriate action is the equivalent of demanding that American citizens, including war veterans who fought to ensure our peace and freedom, be subjected to the toxic fallout of the boom car operators instead of being able to enjoy peace that they fought so hard for, even inside their own homes.

lol "toxic fallout"

[levymetal]

looks like a joke to me, just to get everyone worked up

[helrzr925]

haha what a joke, i currently have a boom car, and another one in the making
i don't turn it up at home cause my neigbours are pretty good people, but as soon as i leave my street it's fair game.
man i can't wait till the stereo in my kingswoods done, $2500 worth of alpine boom car goodness
i acctually feel sorry for the people that live near me (except for in my street), cause the sort of boom car music i play is the stuff that blows windows

hhmm lower the boom, is that anything like drop the bass (by bass syndicate) - amidoinitright?

[Chalky01]

Hahaha omg what a joke!! I really do think there guys need to get a life, ima gunna have my sound system or.. *boom box* as loud as i want

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Maybe it is done by the same people who do the Landover Baptist Church website.

[S2_VR_]

i payed $20 thousand for my car another $6 doing it up and $1500 doing my stereo as they can see MY is the key word

you only spent $6 doing it up??....wow....lol sorry had to

[vsl67]

[chevy_big_block_bro]
