I’m dealing with that situation in the near future again... http://noiseoff.org/library.php
There are two interesting articles (articles section) that show this isn’t as benign as some of these idiots think: Heavy Bass Victims You Are Not Alone and Vibroacoustic Disease (VAD). It will drive you insane.

Rap music at high volume is super annoying.

"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey at high volume gets mostly thumbs up from bystanders. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Couln’t possibly be because white people are less likely to want the entire neighborhood to know, “Look at me! I’m in your neighborhood!”

Maybe the cops levy fines based on decibel level, and blacks play music louder than others.

I was at a car wash where you drive through and then vacuum and clean the interior after exiting the car wash. There was an Amish couple with their rap music blaring so loudly it hurt my ears and I left without finishing cleaning my car. They were parked beside one of the many signs that asked people to put trash in the bins and to NOT play music.

They purposely flaunt not following rules. They DARE you to try to enforce them.

I don’t listen to Led Zepplin often,
but when I do,
so do my neighbors.

Even if you’ve never ridden in a car this would not be surprising. Living in a house, walking along a sidewalk, you would know. This might be surprising to someone who was born deaf.

Something is disproportionately affecting one group

Yes. It's called arrogant stupidity. It does disproportionately occur in American negroes.

There are disproportionately more black professional basketball players. Should we idiotically assume it’s because of racism against non blacks?

Loud music that is annoying in traffic is far more likely to emanate from a car with black occupants, at least around here.

It’s called the Bass Dial. Learn how to roll it to “-6”!

Stop playing your music so loudly its a public nuissance and stop falsely accusing others of racism when the problem is your thoughtlessness toward others and your selfishness.

When the Richter Scale pulls up alongside my vehicle, I am ready to go full Trunk Monkey.

Enjoying a nice day, sitting on a bench near a busy road, waiting for my wife to finish a luncheon bridge outing, I observed the traffic. About 25% of the passing cars had blaring speakers and 100% of the drivers were black.

Since it is Florida ... I would not be surprised if the law continues in force. The legislature might even make some money available in the budgets for the noise measurement equipment.
Does anyone else feel THREATENED when the loud-volume vehicles roll up? It is a very creepy and uncomfortable sensation.
