YES, please god oh yes. :( Also doorbells in TV ads. I have 3 dogs and it always sets them off. I don't even know how the fuck they know what a doorbell is because almost no one uses ours, lol.

I think dogs experience bells as a kind of sonic assault and will naturally react to them even when they don't yet associate the sound with anything. Also, bells tend to be very unexpected from a dog perspective and surprises are a great reason for barking.
The bells bells bells bells bells bells bells bells bells!
Why on earth would anyone oppose this? The only people who gain are companies who are ok with distracting you so that you pay attention to their commercial.
I think the challenge would be to come up with the definition of "siren"- or "car horn"-sound. While some are obvious, there are a ton of songs that feature air horns, sirens or other light disturbing noises. Would it have to match a spectrogram of siren noises to be illegal? Does the decibel gauge the legality?
I think there is a ton that's going to fall within the gray area, and it will ensue a lot of lawsuits.
Not that I disagree that it should be illegal, but I think the law would be complicated to define.
It is my god given right as a free American to have a heart attack because I heard a loud honk, die at the wheel, take out a family in a minivan, careen off a cliff, and land through the roof of the Walmart off the interstate.

I don't know, how do you feel about pandering for upvotes on a website that doesn't have karma?
Literally just taking top questions from reddit and posting them here to help drive engagement and get the platform going. Like you said no karma here so not sure what the aggressive tone is about. Glad the post police are migrating from reddit too though lmao that’s a good sign I guess
There’s no tone in plain text
