*village, street, town or whatever describes the local area in which you live.
A forking Kent with a loud car that is. There’s a particular bell end near me that has an outrageously loud heavily modified car. It wouldn’t be so bad if the little prick didn’t go out in it ten times a bloody day!
There’s a big dose of shitting on your own doorstep with it as well, that I struggle to fathom. Driving an easily identifiable loud car antisocially a stones throw from your front door FFS. He’s already driven past me twice while walking my son this morning and my patience is getting dangerously depleted to Falling Down levels.
It depresses me that this sort of behaviour is normalised to some extent. Is there anything I can do about it other than ignore the prat?
Yes, we have exactly one in our village. White Golf R, lots of popping and banging as he drives through with the seat as far back as possible, and then the moment he hits the NSL sign the whole place is deafened as he floors it.
He's gone past me while I've been out running and I reckon he's doing, conservatively, about 90mph on a lane not quite wide enough for two vehicles.
Hmmm you’re not near Stourbridge are you? Coincidentally my local end of bell in a knackered sounding car just drove past
I sometimes wonder what the switch to EVs will do to the pops and bangs brigade - expect they'll stick to ruining the handling by making them far too stiffly sprung for anything but a racetrack, or lowering them so much they have to creep over every speed hump at 20mph before flooring it for the 50yds to the next one (with requisite pops and bangs as they slow back down)
I was riding to work on my motorbike the other day.
This weapon on some revvy bike with straight through pipes comes barreling up behind me and follows me about a mile. Totally offensive sound at 7am through a town.
Can't hear my own engine due to his.
Stop at some lights and he comes up right next to me presumably expecting some sort of nod of solidarity.
I just let him go. Noisy selfish twonk 😊
Similar throbber lives just up the hill from me. I waved to him to roll down his window and complimented him on his car (nasty yellow coloured Ford Focus). I then asked if he would drive quietly because it was disturbing my aged, ill mother.
Throbber drives sedately now, at least past my house.
If he did manage to wake mum I'd have been be ecstatic; we scattered her ashes in the Thames a dozen years ago.
They honestly think they sound/look cool & can’t understand why we don’t.
Yes, grey Audi S3? Lives on the new estate opposite us and goes in and out many times a day. Floors it from the roundabout onto the estate even when the road is busy with children going to football, has to slow for the speed bumps as limited ground clearance . My wife has reported it but it’s still doing the same, I can only think he’s some sort of criminal or dealer that his neighbours are scared of as it’s the only reason I can think of for it carrying on for the last year. Various pops, bangs, pseudo race noises switched in depending on mood. Eventually…
Not as bad as the people who think their diesel producing massive clouds of black smoke is cool. Honestly.
think yourself lucky. once a month we have a brigade of these ****s going up and down our road as they do continous loops till about midnight. my kids are often knackered on a sat night, particularly the 6 year old. if i can hear it over the telly its too loud.
i have no idea how to stop it. i genuinely thought about standing outside with a big sign saying "my kids are trying to sleep" but i thought most of them would just find it funny and start honking their horns or something
there is also a bloke in a greem lambo that absolutely smashes it down the road whenever he gets a clear run
roads a 20mph with a couple of speedbumps and a cycle lane, but dead straight with no cars parked so obvious attracts idiots. there used to be one of those speed indicators which thankfully they have taken down. the idiots would floor ut from the speedbump trying to see who could get the highest speed indicated
Yeah we have a few of them.
Usually small engined hatchbacks.
Sounds like every estate does have one. Great approach @Ambrose!
Ahh the diesel black smoke thing, someone in an old Leon did this to me recently while out on my road bike. As he sped off down the country lane a big part of me wanted him to wrap it round a tree!
Noise nuisance is in the ear of the hearer. When I lived at home in my late teens, I used to commute on my bog standard Honda 360. I used to start it and ride gently down the road.
One of my neighbours complained about the noise. He was however a DJ came home in the early hours and nearly drove his next-door neighbours to a breakdown as he wound down by playing loud music at 3am.
We live on a "driving destination" road and the v8 drift cars seem to love it. It's mostly peaceful and at night especially...but then either motorbike heroes or rally wannabes ruin it doing massive burnouts.
Mostly in the week it's not too bad, but it can be terrible at weekends.
In local town we have a Volvo limousine clapped the f out which sounds to chuggle whilst clouding the streets with smoggy diesel.
He has iirc flag like a diplomat plus stickered all over.
Says it all really.
That’ll be the local landowner………
Yes, boyfriend of the lass at the end of tne road with a tweaked beemer.
When he really pisses us off,the chap two doors down gets his (2005) Ferrari out and purrs up and down to prove that its always quality over quantity.
I wish we only had one. In Sheffield 1 in 10 cars sounds like machine gun fire.

Rolling coal Bro.

Cringe.
Crackle maps are the de rigour mod. When ever I visit mum on a statuary I end up driving South along the a12 in the evening. It has a few tunnels and the lads in their crackle mapped corsas love to pretend they are Clarkson in some exotica and an alpine tunnel. Bloody deafening. At least their they only annoy a few other drivers.
We have a few. There's a Scooby with one of those exhausts you could lose a football up, he's great fun when giving it beans at 2am. There's a lad on a trials bike who can't keep his right wrist still, he'll sit at the junction revving away sounding like angry frog made of wasps. And the obligatory set of lads on bikes which look like they were made by BA Baracus; usually 2-up, no helmets, no plates, no anything else, no road sense and no brains.
. In Sheffield 1 in 10 cars sounds like machine gun fire.
No...that is machine gun fire...
Just ask them if their car is ok as it sounds broken.
Several more than one in most local areas.
It isn't just brats with clapped out boxes though. A lot of mid lifers filling voids with excessively loud M cars, AMGs, Overfinch/SVR Range Rovers etc and driving around "announcing their presence" and wanting to pin it everywhere to justify the £1000/month lease.
We have one. He goes to work at 05:30 every morning and seems intent to drive down our street at the top of the rev range in 1st gear. Not only that, he sits and waits for his windscreen to defrost in winter. Myself and several of our neighbours have been out to vent our rage.
we also have “Mr Mondeo” who despite living in the middle of our street - we are at the end - insists on sitting outside our house from 8:30-10pm after work listing to heavy bass whilst smoking weed. Twice I’ve been out, twice it’s been lowered the slowly raises again
We live in world where respect and thought for others is pretty much in the bin, it’s every person for themselves
Makes me chuckle, years ago I worked with a lad who had a succession of what would be quite valuable now, old shitboxes. He had a crash right by our office, quite a slow 50/50 collision at an awkward junction. He pretty much got full blame initially because his car was so loud and being young, the other witnesses thought he was going really fast.
It was a Vauxhall Magnum that I think at the time only had 3 working cylinders. It could barely get out of its own way.
We have one. He goes to work at 05:30 every morning and seems intent to drive down our street at the top of the rev range in 1st gear
my work van is a bit like that, it’s automatic and feels incredibly noisy on a cold morning, it’s probably my imagination but it seems to hold the low gears forever when I’m trying to be quiet.
Neighbour one side fully electric, other side has a Morgan with a V8 in it by the sound of it. Lovely burble.
We do get a lot of tractor activity esp in the summer. Anyone speeding down our tiny road would either end up as a tractor accessory or stranded in one of the many portals to the dark abyss masquerading as potholes.
Joy of living in a very rural location although as @cougar pointed out in another thread, it is a thirty minute round trip to Tesco 🙂
Driving an easily identifiable loud car antisocially a stones throw from your front door FFS.
My nan asked me to get her a catapult from the fishing tackle shop. She had a bus stop with noisy youths outside her window and a guy diagonally opposite with a stupidly loud exhaust. She used to pelt both the youths and the car with stones from her living room window. She was a surprisingly good shot.
I miss my nan... She was cool.
I was riding to work on my motorbike the other day.
This weapon on some revvy bike with straight through pipes
I find the Harley types with their loud exhausts some of the most antisocial.
One of the things I appreciated in Germany was the law governing/limiting the decibels from exhausts. It's part of the TÜV/MOT on bikes and the police do spot checks, particularly on roads loved by bikers.
You'll sometimes see them on the border of Austria fiddling with their exhausts, either removing or refitting the silencers.
For those throbber sitting at the lights revving their motor, get your missus to wave their little finger at them.... GF started doing this to the petrol heads in town. Fun to see the driver slunk into the chair and try to avoid eye contact.
Twice I’ve been out, twice it’s been lowered the slowly raises again
Air ride?
my work van is a bit like that
this is a souped up Vauxhall corsa that looks like it’s been magnetised then driven through Halfords.
It was such a shame when I witnessed one of these incredibly cool fast and furious types ...no sorry...dickheads... accidentally step the back end out on his Ford Mustang going through some traffic lights.
How we gasped in awe as he slid into a kerb and cracked his alloy wheel off.
Oh dear!
A lot of mid lifers filling voids with excessively loud M cars, AMGs, Overfinch/SVR Range Rovers etc and driving around “announcing their presence” and wanting to pin it everywhere to justify the £1000/month lease.
I have a 50 year old bloke who has a C63 AMG as his daily, always starts it up with the exhaust valve fully open so the cold blip is heard across the whole estate. Not the best when he leaves for work every weekday at 6am. He also has a loud Harley Davidson for the weekend and it sits idling most Sundays at 8am before he drives off using full revs and throttle to create maximum noise as he wiggles through the estate.
we also have “Mr Mondeo” who despite living in the middle of our street – we are at the end – insists on sitting outside our house from 8:30-10pm after work listing to heavy bass whilst smoking weed
That sounds like a call to the police to report drug driving.....
There’s a thread on a car forum right now where they are moaning about all the ‘bell end’ cyclists…
I don’t mind a noisier then usual car exhaust, it’s the pop pop bang that pierces the ‘normal’ drone of cars and the horrendous driving that I would rather be without.
I am an unusual car / motorbike loving cyclist though.
A lot of mid lifers filling voids with excessively loud M cars, AMGs, Overfinch/SVR Range Rovers etc
It's so very tragic
I am an unusual car / motorbike loving cyclist though.
I'm a lifelong petrol head but recently my attitudes and opinions are shifting. I used to work with magazines and shoot a lot of motorsport and modified cars and loved a bit of anti-lag and turbo choochoo noises as much as anyone.
Now I'm happy to leave all that stuff at the tracks and exhibitions where it belongs.
Cars in general are a plague and I'll very happy to see anything which meaningfully reduces the number of them.
i love cars too, was a member of silverstone for a few years.
But there is a time and place for that sort of thing
outside my 6 years olds bedroom window at midnight is not it
and it is tragic. someone round our way has a shiny gold wrapped range rover thing.
they really should enforce the sound thing with regular checks especially late at night / early morning when people are trying to sleep its seriously anti social and completely unnecessary
On a recent trip to Canada, I remarked to mrs mac that you don’t get cars with ‘fart cannons’ there, and she instantly replied, ‘they don’t need em, they have real engines’
Lots of v8s there, but you rarely hear anything exhaust related.
Were you in a city where everyone drives a Tesla?
The noisy exhaust scene isn’t as big here as it is in the UK, especially crackle maps, but it does exist. The worst thing is 7 litre diesel trucks with all the emissions filters removed from the exhaust pipes. the owners invariably have the need to warm them up at 5am.
then there are the straight pipes Harley Davidsons.
the odd thing about these vehicles is that they are driven my fully fledged adults, not boy racers.
Old house we had the moped crew razzing around at night doing circuits, was frustrating as they'd go past every 10 minutes or so. But we were on a main(ish) road so just one of those things.
Moved to a new estate a while back. One middle age guy has an Audi S3 with a pop and bang map, not going fast or revving it loads but really antisocial. Someone else has an Audi R8 and that actually sounds nice without being antisocial and without pops and bangs.
Exactly my thoughts - a loudish (standard ‘R8 as per the above example) doesn’t really ruin the peace, it’s another part of the usual drone of cars, the pop fart bang crap though is awful and can go as far as to scare the shit out of people / animals etc and it’s something the owner goes out of their way to create too.
Quite a few around here (Daventry), but the biggest issue is motorbikes. There are some cracking driving roads in the countryside here and around the town ringroad (40mph limits mostly with roundabouts) if you're willing to ignore safety, speed limits and generally not care about being a knob.
The results is that around 8PM on a summers evening it sounds like a race track - multiple bike clearly audiable across the whole town ragging around with wide open throttle. Occasionally you come across one when driving / riding - last one was coming towards me, overtaking a car and having just enough space to squeeze through at 90+... on his back wheel.
Every year or so one of them stacks it - there are an increasing number of roundabouts with floral tributes around the ringroad and they are always lauded as "a great, hardworking lad who really loved his mum and his family and young children"... the racetrack tends to calm down for a few days and then they're back on it. It's incredibly sad and not a little frustrating.
We had one doing wheelies up and down the 40 road outside work - I got a photo of his teeny tiny number plate (just) - "B19 CON" - predictably not a bike plate. They really don't give a *&*t.
We have one . It's a 1.2 fiesta so to make it go it has to be full throttle everywhere. It's an awful noise as well. I think he's ripped out all the silencers and cat .
Reported to the local bobby ( yes we have one of those again) and they are fully aware of the car and are waiting for him to blow through a speed trap , except he's out later on in the evening when they're packed up for the day
Unfortunately I don't think my patience is going to wait for that to happen so it's going to be a can of fast setting crazy foam up the exhaust pipe.
Valve core remover and a quiet walk home one night with 4 valve cores in the nearest bin.
Like this sort of thing? 🤔🤢
Quite a few around here (Daventry)
I learned to drive in Daventry, true story.
All I remember are roundabouts.
One of our local wallpapers has a massive sticker all over the back of rear window...
"Clippin' ditches, bangin' bitches"
Predictably weasely 30 something with a teenage girl in the passenger seat.
In my day what set them apart was their cars being a bit shit, nova, saxo etc.
But now they all drive things with AMG and M on them?
Valve core remover and a quiet walk home one night with 4 valve cores in the nearest bin.
Top tip, thanks.
yep, coupel of new drivers around here in 80's volvo saloons with no muffler/silencers. Better than crackle maps though
I cant believe the nerve of some people.. not like I was driving around in my late teens in a Westfield annoying my neighbors ;0 Just didn't realise how anti social it was until being on the receiving end and no longer the owner of a loud car.
The bigger issue here are the big 7L diesel pickups giving it the beans in the residential streets spooling up their twin turbos and laying down rubber and soot.
Jesus granddad's, what the **** is there to do as a kid?
No drinks (no drink driving is good), no places to
Go just generally **** all to do if you arn't a sad sack piss head.
My dad had a mini with a Porsche crash box, 1275 rebored but got to 50 yo and thought the same as you lot. Whinge, whinge, whinge.
The Doppler effect is a wonderful thing and going the way of the dodo. Would you rather them giving out shit on a street corner?
A lovely of engineering is a wonderful thing.

Boy racers couldn’t afford a $75k Ford F150, or a big Harley. It might be a good idea to not piss off the Harley rider though, especially if they’re wearing colours, it may not end well…
’Rolling coal’ is deliberately designed to piss off EV drivers and cyclists, by being as offensive as possible.
The irony of noisy exhausts and crackle maps, you’d likely get flagged or not let on a track day.
+1 for using a valve core remover.
High powered laser pointer.
might be a good idea to not piss off the Harley rider thoug
I had the misfortune of being in Saalbach Hinterglem one year when the annual biker meet was on.
Full of loud and flashy Harleys being ridden by (mostly) overweight lawyers and dentists.
Again, get your missus to wave their pinkie at them.
It might be a good idea to not piss off the Harley rider though, especially if they’re wearing colours
apparently drives down local crime rate if you've a neighbor who wears a patch.
A scaffolds plank with a lot of 3 inch long nails banged all the way through it and deposited in the roadway in front of the c@#£s seems reasonable to me.
Or, if you have a large dog, empty out one of their worst dumps from a poo bag onto the lap of the knobjockey in the front seat when they're stopped. Make sure some goes on the steering wheel and/or gearstick 👍
Yes back in the day turning the ignition off then on again could give you a nice cracker and pop as one drove past girls at the bus stop but if you got it wrong may result in needing a new exhaust as it could blow up
I had a Janspeed exhaust on my Mk1 Mexico back in 1979 sounded fantastic with a creamy white tailpipe as none of your cash converters in the exhaust
Much better with induction noise like my old school z4 3.0i BMW with the foam removed
. It might be a good idea to not piss off the Harley rider though
Yeah, it’d be horrible to get declined for your next mortgage. Think of the shame!
I live in a village a decent way out of town, so no estate really, but we have one family that likes its large, badly tuned US V8s and another that seems to favour poorly maintained, but revvy BMWs. At one point they had a project Volvo 740 turbo, that was fun. At least the guy that restores classic US cars does a good job of it.
Sweden does have a sub-culture that likes shitty, poorly tuned and maintains American cars. I've come through a town on my bike when they and the local bikers have been cruising and it was a nightmare of loud vehicles. The police were loving it.
If it's local and you know the details, call the police. Illegally noisy exhausts are just that, illegal. Our local knobber with bean-can pipe stopped after pretty much half the population complained about him. I don't know the details, but it stopped pretty promptly.
With youngsters it seems to be a passing epidemic thing that passes after a year or two, presumably when they settle down, get married, buy/lease a nice SUV etc. With older men - and predictably it's mostly men - it's a mark of advanced 'look at me' egotism.
It's annoying, but it's always been thus with young drivers/motorcyclists. As an ex-biker, who used to roadtest for a motorcycle magazine, I could appreciate the allure of a nice exhaust tone - an RC30 on a race pipe on a track was amazing, I like aural... - but there was a limit where it was frankly embarrassing and a hazard to your licence.
I had a stupid test pipe on a long-term ZXR for a matter of weeks and was done for 35mph in a newly-introduced 30 because 'we heard you coming'. Really I think it was more about the exhaust than the speed. Ideally what you need is something thats a quiet burble at low revs and somewhat louder when you open it up and a motor that actually sounds nice, a VR6 rather than an inline four. Anyway, all in the distant past for me.
But yes, every town has one or more.
I like cars and all, but balling about / making progress / pinning it / drifting / <insert race care fantasy driving here> out on the public roads is moronic.
I can't get that excited about folk spending their money on car bling - there are plenty of antisocial behaviours that are far, far worse than a baked bean tin exhaust. Clearly opinions vary here.
Yes, about 300 of the fu** pr*.
There's a park and ride about ~500m from our house which gets used most weekends for "car meets". It's like the council built it specifically for them, roundabouts, ample parking, a set of 3-lane dual carriageways with lights every half mile for drag racing. It's a bl**** nightmare,
There's 5 on our street:
A Fiat Punto, it's a Punto, why are you drawing attention to the fact you drive a Punto?
A Skyline
A CB125 (same comment as per the Punto)
A bright yellow BMW 135/140 (or a 116 with a bodykit and a fart canon).
Tuareg/Touran/something V6
A Maserati SUV
The last three may well be stock, but they're just obnoxious and driven by cu**s.
After about 5 years of complaining to the council about the car meets they finally put PSPO's on the park and ride and one of the town center car parks when they started meeting there as well and so it affected people living in the town itself.
The police though do f*** all though even if they show up. There's ANPR in the car park but they will only issue the PSPO fine to the person doing the burnout/drag race/donuts/most obnoxious exhaust. £60 to one person won't put them off, they wouldn't do it if 300 people watching them got the £60 fine.
The closest it's got to actual enforcement is the police put a sped trap on the DC and issued more than 300 NIP's in just over an hour 😂
On a posh estate here so the main anti social driving comes from ugly 23 plate Audi SUV's going too fast. There's a scrotey estate half a mile away that pukes up the odd biker with very loud pipe, one goes past the house at 6am. I would complain but it saved my bacon the other week when I fell asleep after the alarm went off
There’s a park and ride about ~500m from our house which gets used most weekends
Back when I lived on the wrong side of town we had a similar problem at the local retail park. Sunday evenings they'd come out in force, up and down our road. The drivers were almost all non-local, they'd head to our town from the surrounding 20 - 30 miles.
Council put steel barriers up guarding the car park, locked on Sunday evening. It worked.
Sometimes the stupidity does amaze. We had one on the street, enough folks complained about it and a rozzer came around one evening to have a word, turns out he runs a hot house...Next thing you know, there's a stack of police transits and patrol cars carrying out endless plants, and a couple of dudes in plasti-cuffs
I was chatting to his neighbours about it a few weeks back, and she told me that when they spoke to him about the fact that his exhaust sounds like an Group-B Audi, this idiot said that he liked the attention it brings him...Yeah so much attention that you're now going to prison...Slow handclap
We live on a main road so get quite a few. They usually fall into two camps.
There's the 1 litre Fiesta/Corsa gang with the cheapest aftermarket exhaust available that sounds like a fart through a straw. Usually completely standard with the addition of some local facebook "car club" stickers on the boot.
Then you have the RS3/Golf R guys, and it's inevitably always these two specific cars, they have a pop & bang map so they can DSG trombone up and down the road and scare the local wildlife/grannies. If it's an RS3 it will be Nardo Grey, if it's a Golf it will have had the wheels painted gold.
Everyone else seemingly drives an SUV of varying sizes. As it's Sunderland Jukes and Qashqais are the go to option.
Back when I lived on the wrong side of town we had a similar problem at the local retail park
The annoying thing is, we live in one of the "nice" bits 😂
Can't really call it a village anymore, it's a suburb, but it's still nice. Trouble it it's desirable because of the "transport links" i.e. it's a stones throw from M4-J11 so you can be in Swindon / London / Oxford / Guildford / Southampton all in under an hour. Which means car's are king. The 'high street' has 1 recently re-opened after shutting for 3 years pub. 1 huge kwick-fit style garage, 1 small indy garage, a petrol station, a corner shop, a florist and an accountant.
So you can get everything your car needs, your consultant ltd co accounts done and flowers for the wife to apologies for working late again.
Yeah, the usual bangs n'pops brigade... but that's not the real menace on the road. It's the ranger rover over-entitled brigade who close pass/ drive at you, generally threatening driving. But the single most likely car to come barrelling past at over a ton somewhere inappropriate is a Golf R. Surprised there aren't more of these in ditches around here.
Bikers - no compliants. There is a local with a Harley though that seems to need 20mins of idling to warm up at 8am every Sunday, but I'm not bothered by that. He's just an old bloke with a hobby.
we have the midnight quad bikes ragging it round our nearby field and up and down the canal towpath, but it seems they have got a little quieter up and down there, or wiser as they were often met at one end of he path by the police on their offroad bikes.
There’s a lad on a trials bike who can’t keep his right wrist still, he’ll sit at the junction revving away sounding like angry frog made of wasps.
I think we have the grown up equivalents next to us. The (quite posh) estate next to us from spring to autumn is all petrol strimmers being revved and revved. No idea why they have petrol strimmers, the gardens are small enough to run extensions if they wany moar power.

This is an AI response surely?
I don't think we have to worry about the robot uprising just yet.
I live on a dead end road where the most offensive car is a white Lexus that's so long and wide that the owner never has any space to park it outside his house so it ends up all over the shop. Maybe he'd have more space if he ditched the matching, massive white Lexus SUV.
Anyway, when I was in London I was in a third floor flat overlooking a quiet (as in low traffic) one way road and every so often some utter weapon would boot it up there at 3am waking me up. Most irritating though was the person who felt the need to warm up their motorbike on the pavement outside our windows for about half an hour every morning. Oh and minicab drivers who'd park outside in the middle of the night but leave their diesel engines idling.
Jesus granddad’s, what the **** is there to do as a kid?
Pretty much everything?
Seriously? Educate us "Granddads" on what the point of spending ££££'s on a modifying a 20 year old Fiesta? They could quit their jobs and spend 6 months backpacking through SE Asia for what it costs to fit a bodykit and insure a car at 17. I really don't get it.
A lovely of engineering is a wonderful thing.
It's a £50 popcorn re-map, not the Forth Bridge.
Even something "built" is usually just a production car they've they've taken the checkbook to deamon-tweeks for. I've never seen anything that was actually "built" by the owner.
I live on a main, straight road between 2 round abouts. between Huddersfield and Bradford,
I would ban pops and bang maps over night if i could. Bearing in mind i drive a V8 audi with a sports exhaust you may think im being hypocritical but theres a world of difference between a straight through pipe and the 15 or so bangs they have these days.
Normal city centre victorian terraced road here, lots of dented city cars and Transporters. Bloke up the road drives a brand new Ferrari which is so wide it sticks out a foot wider than anything else so waiting for it to be dinged. But worst of all is when he parks outside and starts it at 6am and it has this revving thing. The absolute tosspot.

This is a bit like the Ronnies middle classes sketch.
We're looking down on you, but that's OK because you've got someone to look down on too.
