World Enough and Time

I am astounded at the volume some people can tolerate - in fact, obviously like - inside their car. Sometimes when I was at work, a car would stop at the stop sign outside the office and the vibrations of their music would be so intense that the whole office would shake. Sometimes the vibration - the pitch of the sound - would be painful, and I'd tense up until the car passed onwards.

I sometimes like loud music, but not like that, and not when it's not my choice.
