Blasting speakers are a source of irritant?

I notice that there are many people, especially teenagers who blast their handphone speakers on public places like the tram or bus. I find that very inconsiderate and annoying as not everyone wants to listen to music in the morning and not everyone likes the music played. Are you angered by their actions? I feel that if they really want to listen to music they should bring earphones so that the music only goes into their ears. What do you think?

I agree. I live in residence so it's very distracting when people play loud music while I'm trying to study. I usually find their music to be in bad taste too :P Headphones in my case would solve the problem. However, on buses and trams, people wearing headphones still blast their music and you will still be able to hear it (which doesn't make sense to me unless they have hearing issues).

I don't mind it. People are people. Now if I was in for a long ride & wanted to shut my eyes perhaps. But sometimes I think they either don't realize how loud it is or are just plain inconsiderate of others. Hence why you sit elsewhere away from the noise.

That's true but i also feel that music helps you in bad situations. I honestly like almost every single type of music in existance im pretty sure. Look at my music player and youll find everything from screamo to yodeling to rap to ballads..its quite amusing to hear a song you hate on a bus in the morning for me though. Music has always gotten me through things. Next time you sit on a bus or train with that annoying person with the blasting headphones, look at the scneery or the people around you. Ironicially most of the time people move to the beat of the music thats being played, whether they like it or not. ;)

Yes,blasting speaker the main source of irritant,because no one can do own work at noisy place.Everybody wants peace but by the the loud speaker and the small child all are disturbed in their work. All of the human beings do their duty but due to this all are disturbed so they avoid their work and for this they moving around.The voices of small children,the loudspeakers of vicheles musjid,temples and in so many places it are cause irritant.

I agree with you. I find people in buses and trains who use to play music using loudspeakers instead of using a earphone. This causes irritation to certain audiences who hate music or anybody who in such a bad situation(of mind).
