Why on earth would anyone oppose this? The only people who gain are companies who are ok with distracting you so that you pay attention to their commercial.
It is my god given right as a free American to have a heart attack because I heard a loud honk, die at the wheel, take out a family in a minivan, careen off a cliff, and land through the roof of the Walmart off the interstate.
I think the challenge would be to come up with the definition of “siren”- or “car horn”-sound. While some are obvious, there are a ton of songs that feature air horns, sirens or other light disturbing noises. Would it have to match a spectrogram of siren noises to be illegal? Does the decibel gauge the legality?
I think there is a ton that’s going to fall within the gray area, and it will ensue a lot of lawsuits.
Not that I disagree that it should be illegal, but I think the law would be complicated to define.
