Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Motorcycles are disproportionately more likely to be the source of loud, annoying engine noises, even though there are more cars than motorbikes. Loud cars are very rare, and are still quieter than any motorcycle.
They are not very rare, loud cars, that is. Harleys.. maybe.. but that's a story on it's own.
Actually, I'm now quite convinced you have profound hearing loss. If the ONLY big noise you hear day to day, is motorcycle engines, I think you're missing a lot of the soundscape. I'd be willing to bet you have some real loss in the high and midranges. Get it checked out, if that's the case, you're going to need to protect what you have left.
I hear all sounds just fine, unless they are covered by the extremely loud sound of a motorcycle.
Typical biker. Never at fault. I'm not loud,, it's your hearing that's bad! Nevermind the fact that you don't need any hearing aid and can hear people talking at a regular volume just fine.
Loud cars are rare. Most cars are barely noticeable when stopped at a red light or going slowly. Cities are loud because there are lots of them, but individual cars are not loud. A bike is as loud as a dozen cars revving their engine.
