Today, that would be very irritating for me. But I remember a time when I would have been the young man down the street, loud car and all. Not sure what it is for young men, maybe the adrenaline, but the loud motor and the squealing tires and exhaust fumes, oh my. My apologies 60 years too late.
Hoot, there is nothing like a bike with a built in door bell. Well, several maybe. No neighbor complained when we replaced stock mufflers. Where do you work on a vehicle if you do not have a shed or garage space - the driveway.Today, that would be very irritating for me.

Hope you're doing better with the leg swelling these days.
Actually, they are better, thanks.That's iT!!!
Even young guys who put playing cards to their bike wheels to make noise as they rode down the street.Today, that would be very irritating for me.

When I was a kid, I didn’t care about baseball nor the players so I and others in my neighborhood used baseball cards because they made louder noises in the spokes than standard playing cards.Even young guys who put playing cards to their bike wheels to make noise as they rode down the street.
My brother and I put those baseball cards on our bike spokes too. We thought it sounded cool.
The baseball card pack always had a little flat piece of bubble gum in there too. If only we knew about the future value of old comic books and baseball cards. But life was fun back then and the future was so far away to worry much about anything.
I figure if you don't go around kicking dogs, you are OK with me. I just growl all the time. People know it is my schtick.I have been going thru somethings it seems like ever since we moved to Kansas and have been less than sweet.
Now with some other things affecting me, realized yesterday why I have become the Karen in some cases.
I have been taking my lack of Love for Kansas out on the medical people here. Not real bad, but snippy, judgmental . quick to be sarcastic. I will no longer be acting so shameful. Now that I have figured out why I am acting badly.
My point is I feel like I have become one of those People that are annoying probably not looked well on.
I have always been quite to the point,and have decided I do not want to continue to be a pain to others, simply because I am not getting what I want out of Kansas. Mark says most of it comes from the pain I am always in-but that is no excuse fro my bad attitude. Now that I have confessed my sin, I will be behaving better.
Try not to offend, try not to be easily offended!!!!!!~What a topic for a forum that has one golden rule, "Don't be annoying or easily annoyed."
Are you talking about cadence or sing-talk?
The ones that always end a sentence with a note of a question when it is a declarative.
Oh I do hear you on that! Grates on the nerve!
Upspeak and it is being promoted by Corporate America as attention catching. Nothing like a mandatory Teams meeting with a NJ speaker with a naturally high voice practicing upspeak on a tethered audience.
