SlamminBeats Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Say a law says you cannot create noise over 90 dB in a vehicle, Noting stating about being heard at a certain distance either 1) We all know, only the TL and possibly a few other expensive meters are accurate? So how would the police know exactly what sound pressure you are creating. Sound pressure = dB because that's what it's measured in. 2) There may be a required distance for that level of dB to carry in order to be illegal, say 20 ft? Seems like that's not too far? Ok lets put this in perspective, people who have the highest park and pound scores, where the meter is only 6 feet away and 6 feet in the air, are doing a 135-136 dB?? maybe more now? So if your about 20 feet away I'd assume you are under the 90 dB, making it legal then...hmmmm Yes even at say 50-100 feet some of our systems are absurdly loud, but in accordance with the law, I am below the legal decibel limit. My point is Loudness is not the same as dB's as most of us know, so is this a legit argument against the law? I'm not saying I get in trouble with my system, (never got a ticket actually), just curious if my facts are correct. Of course in some areas there may be a law stating that stereos are illegal in some ridiculous way, but not where i'm from, it just this 90 dB limit. -SlamminBeats Edited May 1, 2012 by SlamminBeats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 90 DB from xx ft away. Most actually say, if you can be heard within xx ft you are breaking the law.

RooTxBeeR Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Read what I said bro, not many laws say what db level. And even at that, they will never make it so cops are required to determine the actual level.
