Car Alarms: Need I say more?
Brian C. Anderson of the Daily News suggests Car Alarms Are Useless, So Ban Them. Reminding us these annoying devices are designed to aggravate he informs us:
“More than 80% of the calls to New York's quality-of-life hotline concern noise, and many are car-alarm complaints, police say.”
Why am I not surprised?
“Top models like Viper and Hellfire boast sirens that hit a painful 125 decibels — as loud as a disco, and it's sounding right outside your window.”
Not to mention that sometimes all it takes is another passing vehicle to trigger that disco, and usually does so at five in the morning
A mockingbird once took up residence outside my window, and I could swear the thing had learned how to sound out the baneful electronic wale of a Toyota Rav4 being violated.
These pulsing devices are not without their hidden merits, though. Catch me bright eyed during a blue sky afternoon and if I hear an alarm go off I’m likely to break out into 3 or 4 eights of a jubilantly fragmented post modern dance. So there you go, it is like a disco.
