| Sound deadening really does work wonders. I have a fair bit of it in my car, and can't really be heard from the outside, even with the windows down it isn't too bad, and my stereo is far from quiet... |

For anyone interested this link should answer the original question
'how loud is illegal' http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/noise/vehiclenoise.htm
nowhere does it give an SPL at x distance.
looks like a cop only has to be able to hear it outside the car with a couple of doof doofs thrown in its illegal. But only if said coppa thinks its 'offensive'.
Anyone ever challenged a noise fine in court because without some objective measured figure I cant see that they could prove that a particular noise is in fact 'offensive'
In fact I find the sound of a police siren to be very 'offensive'

yeh i got a copper with me at the moment, (uncle)
and yeh, he said if he can hear it and he is on the street, and he hears the doof doof, and think its offensive, its too loud
or if he believes that the driver wont be able to hear sirens, then its a safety hazard and thats illegal too
but it comes down to the individual cop |

what about hearing impared people. they can't hear s**t! why does it matter if i can't hear s**t. accept doof doof doof. i have eyes, that's why they have flashing lights, yes?
keep the stereo down when in chapel, turn it down 2 streets from your house, pump it every where else if thats to your taste and enjoy the money spent. commen sence. 
i've got a loudish stereo and havn't had a problem from the cops. |

yeah, these laws suck, the falcon has a pioneer 4x40watt system that pumps up to 280watts through each channel when youve got bass.
ive got the standard ford speakers in the front, and pioneer 120watters in the back, no amps, nothing special, just a head unit and speakers.
its got a few different settings on it, the s-bass setting is to much for the 6inches to handle, but the vocal,natural and powerful settings are all fine, dont know how loud it is, but you have no trouble hearing it outside the car when you run at volume level 15(outta 30).
ive had 2 300watt subs in the boot before, they made no difference, couldnt hear them over the 6 inchers.
basically, the cops would fine me if i ever had it up, i often sit the car with the windows open when were at the beach, only have it on 12-15, and people tell me to turn it down, to quote a real prick "gees mate, go easy, cant here myself think", illl tell you, its not that loud, and the guy was only walking past, i was the one parked. |

in that case, why do they have sirens, every one can see fine...
but you cant always see them coming, they have sirens, so you can be aware they're coming, not just at the last minute if you see them |

has anyone else noticed that the MOST of ppl that are complaining about the coppers and level of volume is from NSW.
I drive a patrol car (no not cop) at night and down chapel street and the amount of f**k s**t that i hear coming from ppls cars going up and down there are s**t. This is one of the reasons why the cops are starting to crack doen on it in chapel aslo the residents complain as on a thursday (uni finished), Friday Saturday or Sunday night, they cant get any slep due to the noise |

Cant really blame them then.
As usual a bunch of morons with no respect for others will screw it for everyone.
and the government will use the cops to get revenue out of everone not just the morons.
every factory fitted sound system since about 1988 is capeable of being used 'illegally'.

Ive have been fined for loud music about 5 times now, actualy waiting for one to come in the mail from sat night in the rocks.
It is always at the particular officer's discression. I have had some say "if you can hear it from the side walk" and some say "If you can hear it from outside the car"
some fines have been for 200$ and others 150$ |
