Pounding music is annoying…..

It's bad enough when they're just passing by, but I have an obnoxious neighbor who sits in his driveway with the car blaring loud music for two hours straight.

I feel for you MACKTEXAS, I use to live next door to a person like that….they would open there vehicle doors and blar away with no concern for us neighbors, even though there is a noise ordinance they don’t care and ignore.
 
If it gets annoying, I do one of two things.
One is to put on my noise cancelling headphones which is best.
The other is to mentally follow the beat. What makes a noise annoying is when you're trying to concentrate on something else and the noise is hijacking your thought process.

I've never had someone outside last more than a couple minutes. If it was 2 hours I'd have to do something about it.
 
Can't stand loud music, these morons don't realize that babies are trying to sleep, people who work different hours are trying to sleep, etc. And why would anyone think that I want to listen to their music? I may have a different taste in music from you. You may love Rap music, I don't! That is why I hate the summertime, at least in the winter, they're playing their music which I can't hear unless they are living over or under our suite.
 
What drives me crazy is loud, annoying music in stores. That'll drive me right out in no time at all.

One Christmas, I was in Michael's looking at fabrics and there was a very grating type of Christmas music playing with people singing like they were being tortured. It was really getting on my nerves. I mentioned it to the lady at the cutting counter and she said, "How would you like to have to listen to it all day?" She said they had complained to corporate about it, saying that it didn't match the demographic of the store (that day, the store had mostly ladies my age shopping there) and said they were told that they had to stick to the chosen music.

I left and went over to Hobby Lobby where soft, lovely Christmas instrumentals were wafting from the speakers. It put me in the mood to linger and when people linger, they find things to buy. Is that so hard for "corporate" to figure out?

You really don't see that many teenagers and millennials in craft and fabric stores.

I always make it a point to ask the cashier "How many times have you heard this song today?"

Usually gets an eye roll.

Why is someone who does not care for your kind of music a moron? All you have to do is close the windows. Voila, peace and quiet.

And you will not find me there either:)
 
Yes, of course, I live NYC. Worse than the music are sirens; all day, all night. Hate the sirens more than the music from cars, though I don't like that either. I have a lack of peace & quiet in my life; bad city noise.
 
luckily I live in a 55+ community, and most of us are way north of 55, so neighbors with loud music is never a problem. What is a problem is the "ear worms". I have no idea what causes them but I can tell you I've been hearing Tennessee Ernie Ford sing "16 ton" all morning, and it won't stop.

"Another day older and deeper in debt..

Lucky you! My built in juke box has been set on Fine Young Canibals.
 
I don't get much loud pounding music on my little dead end road but one Christmas day I opened the door and heard musical bells. Someone was blaring that outdoors and that day I though it was lovely.

My kind of music is always what my neighbors enjoy and vice versa. Live and let live.

You are very lucky then, not all of us are that fortunate. Also, there may be someone in your neighbor that you don't know of who doesn't like the loud music but is too afraid to speak up.

Since loud music is noise pollution and everyone's taste differs, people should be respectful in public, outside in their yards or in their cars to NOT play it so loud that it disturbs other people around them.

It is just bad behavior to play your music very loud. There is no need for it. Music doesn't have to be loud to enjoy it.

Also when one person's choice to play loud music impinges on another person's right for peace and quiet, the person with the loud music is just being a menace.

Don't be a menace to society:) Try being considerate of others around you. It is actually a nice feeling to find yourself being considerate.
 
I don't like the vibrating deep loud music in other cars when I'm at traffic lights, but I assume the drivers are young and innocent - when I was young I played music loud in my car and thought that other people that heard it would think my music was awesome and wonder what I was listening to. I should probably send an apology to the whole community!

Music in stores is iffy, there is some I don't like, most is just unfamiliar to me. Back when my daughter was young and into Justin Bieber I would recognize the Baby Baby song when stores played it, I liked that song (though I would not have voluntarily chosen to listen to it as many times as my daughter played it).

Trust me, my neighbors are adults not timid mice.
