The blasted motorcycles for example sound like a fusillade of firecrackers going off when they pass by, I don't know why they don't deafen the riders.

They probably do create hearing damage... but they Also make a hard to see vehicle's presence known... I'm sure many riders get those pipes because they rather be deaf than dead.
Granted any rider riding by while I'm trying to sleep will get my scorn.
