I don't think you would get a ticket but you would most probably get a warning.

It is entirely up to the cop who books you. Sure is a load of crap. So you got a stereo and even though it may not be real loud they can be a prick and book you. Are they going to start pulling over and booking fast cars because they are capable of 300km/hr even though they arent speeding?

True. but sometimes if its modded they will try and find something unroad worthy. but hey, their only doing their job, right.

If you dont want to get caught like i have about 3 times and paid for it, keep it low and when your moving. as for being legal , if the cop thinks its to loud he will warn you, if its Fkn pumping he will book you . Theres a differance when you have the "radio" up loud to " moving the suburb with your bass" Back to top joolz Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:34 Posts: 2456 Joined: 06 Nov 2004 Location: Melbourne VIC, Australia View User Gallery (11) Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2004 7:06 pm    Post subject: Some parts of melbourne do have laws for noise pollution, for example in Chapel street the cops will pull you over and either warn or fine you for excessive sound and or find some defect on your car. Normally too low!!!

Petty or suprising? About noise pollution can you get booked for big bass but at low volume ie; boot ratling.

So they put up signs that say" Car audio polution is an offence"(or something close to that effect) on the main corner ( end of bay st facing beach). if i remember correctly it says $150 fine on the sign , but i got booked twice at $200 and once $150 dont know what the other 50 bucks is ment for , but the one i got in the mail was for $150 "car audio noise polution" and the other 2 i got given on the spot by these older coppers who were pretty p****d of. Anyway, i dont putt it up anymore in my area only when im on the freeways , or a very HOT day at noon on bondi beach to set the mood Back to top twr7cx Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:22 Posts: 10379 Joined: 15 Nov 2004 Location: Hobart TAS, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2004 10:50 pm    Post subject: It's a good idea to get plenty of sound deadening going into you car if you plan on cranking up your stereo.

You just need to use common sense... If your in a residential area, at 11pm, and you got your 1000wrms 2x12" Type R's going hard out, thats just silly. But if you on a highway, it's fine. Most people who get booked for being too loud get done because the dumbasses are just outside a shopping centre. Or if they are just unlucky enough to be at a lights and a cop pulls up beside you, although most people (myself included) tend to turn there systems down when they pull up at a set of lights.

Well put saw. Doesnt seem sensible having music up load in the city. I mean , what - do you sit there and eyeball all the pedestrians that are looking at you? *cough*wanker*cough*. Time and a place for everything.

I got caught the first few times because the system is just bulllsheit and i never had one before so my car was a noob canon. If you get caught its your own fault , however only using 10 inch subs you lose alot of the bass viabrations within the car , and that means alot to people. If you have 2x10's youll see a massive differnce when you install 2x15's. Its basic physics , the bigger the speaker the more air that gets pushed and the further some frequencies travel. Normaly its those larger curve waves that travel the furthest and the sharper curves die out faster. so thats why you can only hear the bass from a distance on large systems. There are inappropriate times to play loud music, but there are also places where cars and loud music fits.

It has to do alot with the attitude of the police man or women . I remember having the music cranked up playing "Know your enemy" by "Rage against the machine" at its max level in coogee one night in the car park , The copper comes from behind my car and taps on the half wound driver side window of mine finaly getting my attention and i quote him " If that song was not one of my favourites, you would have had yourself a fine" i laffed and turned it down. If it was an old copper that hates rock music i would have had fine number 4.
