Some neighborhoods come with unnecessary, loud, and unbearable noise.

In this story, a man lives in an apartment where trucks regularly blasted extremely loud music from large public address speakers.

The noise was loud enough to be impossible to ignore, and local police seemed unwilling to intervene.

He considered several ways to discourage the behavior but knew some options could cause serious trouble.

What do you think h should do? Read the full story below to find out more.

Crazy loud truck nuisance continues.

These aren’t just large custom car stereos pushing massive bass.

These are trucks with commercial public address horn speakers in the bed/back of their trucks.

Concert volume that is so loud, it is impossible to ignore.

This man lives and works in a Hispanic neighborhood.

I live in a company apartment located at the business I manage.

This is across the street from a large Hispanic neighborhood.

I only mention that because I’ve never seen loud speakers in the back of trucks anywhere else.

Is this a new thing? Is it cultural, or the new “cool” thing?

He’s thinking of ways to disrupt the truck’s loud music.

The local police basically let the people that live around here do what they want around here.

I wish there was some type of electronic signal I could send out to disrupt their stereo.

I was told an EMP pulse would damage/destroy every electronic device in a radius, including my stuff.

So, that is out.

I hear they now have small, powerful lasers that are hell on auto paint.

But that is illegal, and I’m not trying to pick a fight with anybody.

But he doesn’t want it to be traced back to him.

I just wish there was some way I could discourage the behavior in some way that could not easily be traced directly back to me.

I know that last part is kinda chicken crap, I can accept that. I am not optimistic.

What would you do in this situation?

Ugh! That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially if you live and work in the same area.

What’s worse is that the police seem unwilling to help.

I understand OP for wanting the noise to stop, but trying to secretly interfere with the vehicles could easily turn an annoying situation into a much bigger problem.

If you were in his shoes, what would you do? Let’s read the responses of other people on this story.
