If you get too many tickets for the same thing and you apear in front of a judge, that judge might not be so happy seeing as though you've been asked SEVERAL times to correct a problem - but you fail to do anything about it.

Which from what I hear is pretty damn loud! You can have a 10 inch tip there if you wanted to as long as it is NOT harmful to other drivers, etc... but you get my point It's not just your imagination...

I would guess that sound intensity varies with the inverse square of the distance from which it is measured. Every 10 dB up is 10 times as much power.
