You should have seen a feature on that on BBC (UK-station)
a couple of weeks ago... Thet did a hearing test on a guy
driving a Citroen Saxo (VERY small Hatchback), with over
triple the value of the car in Stereo Equipment built in.
Putting out over 110dB of noise. (World record is supposed
to be over 155dB in a NON-purpose-built SPL-car)

It turned out his hearing was starting to degrade in a certain
frequency range. So this guy responds; "So you're saying that
I should, like, double the amps in that range, so I can fully
hear every note again?"

In my case I HAVE to crank up the volume on my stereo these days;
otherwise I cant hear it due to thet I'm using ear protectors
when driving with the T-top off; the wind noise is unbearable
without them when doing 100mph on the German "Autobahn" :-P

For other idiotic cars have a look at

Have Fun!

PS. SPL stands for Sound Pressure Level; some competitors build
special cars for those contests, with plexi 2" windows. Bolts to
keep the doors closed and no seats, so there's no sound absorption...
Look it up on the internet, you'd be surprised....
