Sitting
in Bangkok traffic I heard the boom of loud pop music. Usually a pick-up truck
with open windows is the source. To identify more easily I lowered the car
window and got the full blast of "music" from
a motorbike - as if the wretched
things don't emit enough noise, a new horror is added. I could see that the
source was an ipod fixed to the front handlebar but could not identify the
powerful amplifier and loud speakers. However, I have checked that such awful
devices exist in full stereo and can amplify sound from any Walkman like
device.
The
motorbike zigzagged away through the traffic spreading its awful sound for all
to hear. As if our streets do not have enough noise pollution already. As if
this ghastly pop music is the favoured sound of all the world. As if we have no
redress against this new assault. Next one I hear I will remember to record the
licence plate and see if anything can be done.
