Why Loud Cars?

[Getmegreek]

Can someone explain to me the point of loud cars & trucks?

I seen some with big mufflers in the back of a truck

Some are street race cars making grunting noises as they take off at red light

is this sound soothing to them as well as to annoy us?

Just purely curious

[xDDD]

Errrr just an FYI, a big muffler would generally mean they are not as loud.

Loud noises are badass

same reason vacuum cleaners are loud and everything else.

people think loud = power

My car has a performance exhaust because I love farting in people's general direction, especially as I'm speeding away from them.

They want to compete with semi trucks and trains. I even saw a semi truck trying to be loud like a train with a train horn speeding though a thunder storm. I looked it up after and it's actually an aftermarket part for semi trucks.

It's to degrade performance by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the exhaust airflow.

Just purely curious :zagsnooze:

truck engine are big, so is harder

for car if it is car with very strong engine it is also hard to hide their noise

and bike is impossible they are too small to install anti noise

It's fun

Ermmm generally exhaust degrades performance. If you want peak performance, you'll have a very minimal exhaust system.

1: The sound pollution is actually a LOSS of energy (waste).

2: Those ppl who want loud, just want some sort of attention to self

Both are just a big L.

You think a Civilization type II or III have loud & inefficient things? NO.

(My comment refers to people installing massive exhausts to increase engine noise because it feels "performance" despite it eventually leading to a lack of back pressure and impairing the engine's efficiency and power.)

Nah bro I'm gonna straightpipe my Civic because I'm a racecar driver in a wagie's body.

this is just as stupid as asking why artists buy incredibly overpriced pencils
