I use to hear a lot of “booming” sounds coming from automobiles and suvs. have people finally woke up and discovered that their hearing is suffering from these loud noises? maybe, they have discovered that they will be wearing hearing aids, later in their life, because of the boom boxes? in any event, i am glad that at least now i can listen to my cds in my car, without having to compete with the boom boxes. there is something to the saying “silence is golden”.
