Dear Editor,
My compliments to you on your article on audio terrorism. Cities across America are being held hostage by punks who think nothing to blight their own community and blot on the rights of citizens. You should know that there is a group of us who have banded together on the Internet to fight the boomers and the manufacturers who make and install this equipment. We are called NoiseOFF: The Citizens Coalition Against Noise Pollution and our site is at http://www.noiseoff.org.
We have documented evidence to show that the boom car manufacturers blatantly market this equipment to disturb neighborhoods and harass people. Companies like Pioneer Electronics sell their equipment with the slogan: “Defy, Disrupt, Disturb, Ignite.” Sony calls its line of car speakers “X-Plod”, and JBL Audio uses the slogan: “Either we love bass or we hate your neighbors.” Their marketing panders to the youth market with sexist and vulgar ads. They even hire porn models to sponsor “sound pressure level” competitions across the country to see who has the loudest boom car. Some boom cars are louder than a Boeing 747 at takeoff.
We are working to raise public awareness of the social and heath consequences of noise pollution. More so, we are also lobbying lawmakers to pass laws to ban boom cars. We invite your readers to learn more
