I honestly think that using speakers in public (without some kind of permit) should be illegal. There is absolutely no reason to use speakers in public except for being an asshole! I will never understand people who go to parks and stuff and blast music through speakers. I have no idea how they justify that in their heads.

in my country, it is forbidden to play loud music in bus/tram. There is a sign which says that even listening loud to music on headphones is a no go. Usually one can complain to the driver and they will take care of it. Well, and in trains, one can complain to the staff.
In the worst case, they can kick people of the tram/bus/train for this if one is lucky. -
@Olverine In all fairness, I often check the audio of a clip if I've recorded a bird, but I only turn my camera's volume up enough to be able to hear the audio track.

@matthewbdaly , it's India. Everything is loud. From cars to people.

@varikvalefor , in a quiet park, one may justify that bird-chirps are okay...
But how do you vouch for an action movie? Or local music here.
(Guys, just for !fun, search "Purulia regional music" and "Bhojpuri regional songs" over the internet, and listen to one of each. That's what I tolerate each day -_- ) -
@matthewbdaly Sorry, got late.
Yeah, such a campaign could be done, in countries other than mine. Coz in mine, people even spit beetel inside the coaches (except for the exec trains). People sit on the floors, lie down under the berth, sleep in the baggage rack, and sing near the doors of the coach.
Campaigns for silence in such a scenario is gonna be mocked to failure. -
@sniped-sippet I'm sure having one quiet coach is achievable. They announce over the PA which coach is quiet, it's designated with stickers, and the conductors are authorised to make customers using the quiet carriage move if they're too noisy. Although there are some idiots who disrespect the quiet coach from time to time...
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
God, I don't know whether I believe in you or not, but please kill all those people who play loud music in public.
So, I was travelling by a train two days ago. Halfway down the 15 hr journey, the guy next to me took out his laptop and started watching a movie, on speakers, in full volume. It naturally irritated me a lot, and I requested him to use head/earphones, to which he replied that he forgot his one back home. I told him to keep the volume down to which he got personal and put the volume down (maybe to 95%). Since I hate human interaction, I had to plug in my own earphones to keep his bitchy noise away.
The same thing happened today on the bus, the only two differences being:
• mobile phone instead of laptop
• said he doesn't own headphones
• claimed he could do whatever he wanted as it was not illegal
Now, I wished he fell of the bus and died, but the world ain't fair, so he still lives.
