Why college students like to play music loud when they are driving?

What an interesting question.  I find myself doing this all the time.  But I dont know if it's limited to college students.  i never did it when I was in high school, but I couldn't drive then.  I don't know why I do it, I just really love music and when driving, well you not really doing anything but listening to music, it's not like it's playing in the background and you doing schoolwork, or talking to friends.  \n\nSo if you are paying attention to just the  music, it's good to have it loud, because it's your only activity and you are focusing on it. \n\nAs for having the windows open?  I dont know why, but I find myself doing it as well.  I guess when the weather is nice, you want to open the windows to enjoy it.  Then again, this may be the reason why the music needs to be loud, because of the sound of the wind coming in the window.

Typically I find the most distracting thing for me while driving is music that I like but am not entirely sure of the lyrics. When I definately know it by heart my mind tunes it out, when I don't care for what's playing on the radio my mind also tunes it out but if part of my brain in focused on trying to figure out what the words to the next verse are I am not consentraiting on my driving. Maybe that's just me but it devides my thoughts too much and I get careless. Whatever you listen to turn it down low. You might try something like trance or electronica which have very few lyrics. Classical is also a good choice unless you're the type of person that get's too sleepy on the road.\n\nGood luck.

In the parking lot of my college school while it rain, we knew rain will keep people from going to their cars, so we jump to the back seat, move foward the front seats and turn the radio to soft music, like love songs and we just when at it. I will never forget, it was once in a life time opportunity.

Are you kidding?!  I ALWAYS sing when I'm driving, unless it's an embarassing song to be listening to in public; then I make sure the windows are up :o)

Traffic noise is collective sound energy from motor vehicles. Noise is sound or  a sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected or undesired.

Loud people - I will never understand why people have to be so loud in unnecessary settings.

If radio didnt exist how would the songs get heard.Thats how we hear the music,then we have the right to like it or turn it off.We also get to hear the latest in emergency situations including severe weather conditions,alternate routes in case certain roads hazzards suddenly occur and many many more purposes.I hope this helps.

Most definitely the music is for too long and it's too loud. Your body will always give you a warning first that you are abusing it and then break down if you continue. Also check for wax.

Some people simply just listen to music, it can be quiet and that is how they listen. But there is another type of people who does not like to listen to the music.... they like to be the music... feel that annoying loud bass over their own heartbeat....\nyou can call the police through the "non emergency" phone line... and file a noise complaint.. in a lot of places . you are suppose to be quiet after 10. check and see if your area has a curfew... \nbut i would ask them to stop. and if that doesnt work. file a noise complaint

Because most of them are going brain dead and don't realize that 1. It's a nuissance to the community, 2. It's a danger to themselves, their passengers, and other drivers because they can't hear emergency vehicles to get out of the way or other cars they are in danger of hitting, and 3. Playing the bass that loud in a car literally rattles the car apart costing them money to fix it repeatedly in the long run (not to mention the damage it does to surrounding buildings).  It's a shame that people who put these speaker systems in their vehicles haven't been taught better by their parents of the danger involved to their hearing, safety, and how ignorant it is toward others.  I've even seen mothers (mostly poor) driving around with their young children in vehicles with the sound so loud that their children now have hearing loss.  And the police claim it would take up too much of their time to go after these idiots to give them citations (in our area it's $100/offense--and no one has been cited).  The police in our area also realize that most of the people performing such a disservice to the community are also drug dealers who use loud car stereo systems to announce they are in the community to any buyers in ear-shot.  How dumb can you get?

I know just what you mean! I think it's for those people (nearly always guys...you noticed?) who have flash penis-substitutes - they boost the bass beyond human endurance for two reasons: they like to feel that throb, and they need you to notice them.\n\nWhy on Earth anyone needs a hifi system that would do a medium-sized concert hall proud in a car is beyond me.....call me old-fashioned.....lol

People who listen (loudly) to their ringtones/downloaded songs on their phone without a headset while on the train or bus.  Dammit, I don't feel like listening to 50 Cent at 7: 30 a.m.!!!
