Amplified Music - dB-A scale is the wrong method

Setting a limit of 70 dB-A as a noise limit is not the whole picture. Yes it can be good for the spoken words in songs, but not for the bass boom.

Measuring Low frequency sound such as "Bass" with a dB-A scale is wrong.
Bass can travel in huge length compared to the treble and words of a song.

The city should consider 70 dB-A for the higher frequencies and 62 dB-C for the Lower Frequencies such as Bass.

There are hundreds of studies that talk about the negative effect of the low frequency sounds have on the human health.
Here are a few:

I say, ban all motorcycles with glasspack/cherrybomb/aftermarket mufflers. I fucking hate them. Ban them all, and throw them in the trash compactor if being driven at 11pm or later. Fucking nightriders are the least considerate assholes on the planet. why the fuck do 99.9% of the people have to put up with the 0.1% of assholes that think it is their god-given right to be fucking assholes?

Any source of sound in which the bass is measurably higher than the treble; the C-weighted sound level is more than 8 dB higher than the A-Weighted sound level.

Therefore dB-C sound measurement method should be used when enforcing the dB level that the City of London has set for night time entertainment.

62 dB-C = 70 dB-A
(An 8 dB's difference sounds two times louder when it comes to sound)

Low Frequency Sounds (Bass) are measured in dB-C scale.
High Frequency Sounds (Treble) are measured in dB-A scale.

I can't fucking believe it.

We actually agree on something.

I would go further and say that even during the day, harley riders with aftermarket pipes should be reigned in because they set off car alarms and wake up sleeping babies and toddlers which can be a nightmare for parents. I knew one guy who was the most mild-mannered, easy-going guy on earth whose toddler got woken up by some douchebag Harley rider and he was enraged. I'm not sure I blame him either.

well there is a first time for everything.

More companies should follow Ford's latest example:

Ford Adds 'Good Neighbor' Mode To 2018 Mustang GT, where the car exhaust sound is muzzled at a push of a button.

Finally a neighborhood sensible Mustang.

The car companies should be penalized for their excessively noisy products. There is no need for such inconsiderate levels of noise.
