How loud is too loud?

Post by Wattie »

I was driving my car today, and beeped my horn at a bloke walking his dog.

He had his iPod in his ears and didnt even hear me.

How loud should i be having my ipod when i walk my dog?

Thanks KSRC! Do me proud :kuda:

Well Mr Wattie, I would say that the volume of your iPod should be at the level where you can not hear the car but low enough so you can hear your bones breaking when it hits you.

Hope this helps :kuda:

You should have it loud enough so that everyone within a 5m radius can hear the music for the Britney Spears that you're singing along to loud and clear :D

in my previous experience, i have found it vital to have it low enough that when the road captain yells "remember the blind right hander" at me, i hear it.
2 years in a row, i didnt hear him. :lol:

makes for a bit of a laugh over the evenings beverages.

Maybe it's a Euphemism....I mean he does all kind of weird sicko things. I can't even begin to think what his poor pet turtle thinks of it's new home.
