    I have the right to drive up to your house, park on the side of the street, and blast “Baby Got Back” on a loop at 250 dB until the wee hours of the morning, but I don’t do that. Because I’m not an asshole. And I’m already over-budget this year for public performance rights to songs about the buttocks. But mostly the former.

    Someone else said it in another comment: Be a good neighbor - that’s all we’re asking.

      You don’t have the right to do that because almost everywhere has some kind of noise bylaw. Also, 194 dB is the maximum possible sound energy through air.

      You absolutely don’t have that right in any location where noise ordnance is on the books, which is most places.
