How many times, in our cities, have we heard very loud and in some ways unmistakable noises of engines roaring and thundering more than anything else? Cars, motorbikes, modified or not: with very noisy emissions.
The rumbling noise, thunderous, noisy, of the large exhausts of cars and in general of all motor vehicles, it can even represent a ‘modus vivendi’, in some ways.
If nothing else, their interpretation, so to speak, canor split public opinion almost in twoa: there are those who love them (and there are many) and those who hate them (and there are many too).
The roaring engines, whatever our ways of looking at the matter, are still a sort of ‘image‘ (or rather, a sound transposition of the image) iconic in the sector.
Whenever we talk about a powerful engine, we imagine it roaring, cackling, piercing the auditory ‘barrier’. But in all this we need to ask ourselves? Is it legal? But not only.
Cars and noises, what this experimental test says
There are also those who have developed a real study that deals with the hidden, but not only hidden, meaning behind thewith a passion for exhausts. The louder, bigger and more boisterous they are, the more the study would demonstrate that this has (or could have) a psychological meaning: what would it be? Well, hold on tight.
According to this study, the more you like loud engine exhaust noises, the more you would have a sort psychopathic in nature: or, in any case, the tendency to have demental problems. TOnzi: there could be psychopathic traits behind it and sadists. This is what an alternative study of the Western University in Ontario (Canada). would that mean?
Sadism and psychopathology behind the love of car noises?
According to the findings of this study, in a sample of over five hundred students of various kinds, disorders of psychopathy and sadism emerged in those who would love loud exhaust noisesor. The students were asked if they see the car as an extension of themselves, if they thought noisy cars were brilliant and if they had ever thought aboutI modify cars to get more noise.
From the results it emerged that those who love turbos and deafening noises would have a tendency to despise the feelings of others, and may even love frighten and disturb others. Hence the tendency towards sadism and psychopathy. But what do the interviewees think? And the audience of motoring enthusiasts out there? Certainly the deduction to be made is that it is not possible to lump everything together, and that it is necessary caution.
