Maybe they should just outlaw car stereos that can produce more than a certain wattage or db sound level, since nobody is going to pay for that much stereo without any intention of using it... though on the other hand I must say that today's new stock car radios are a lot more powerful than they used to be, maybe the car manufacturers also need some encouragement to limit max output... a deafness lawsuit or something by an owner though I hate the thought of people suing instead of taking responsibility for their own deafness when they crank up a stereo or whatever other silly thing a person might do then blame on someone else. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Since you're a neighbor and it's easy to offend and cause bad relations, send an anonymous letter to your neighbors complaining (politely) about the noise. Wait a few days for letter to arrive, for parent to talk w/child. If nothing changes, start calling police. The noise won't stop otherwise, such an overkill car stereo is only bought to make extreme noise. Your hard drive will be fine. The force needed to disturb it while in a computer would be enough to move the whole computer case and then some. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Example here. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/consumer_electronics/ee25_series/ "Operating vibration of 2 Gs, 5 to 500 Hz, linear swept sine Operating shock of 150 Gs at 11 ms, 300 Gs at 2 ms" The number you quote, is shock. Vibration of a continuous nature has a different spec. Paul | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
