    That's a really vague question. I depends on were your are at, the time of day, who complains, whether the cops are in a bad mood, the color of the building next to you, how many birds are flying by, the alignment of the planets, etc...

    It also depends on the jurisdiction, the sound proofing in your car, whether your windows are open, and the type of music you play.

    As a side note, I've been working on an acoustic homing missile that will eliminate the need for tickets.

    Some localities have decibel limits, but they are hard to measure and enforce.
