Why do you assume that simply enjoying music is a cry for attention?

I know... I hope I never turn into an "old fogey"...

This is why you shouldn't wear ear buds or headphones...

"The 2022 Florida Statutes (including 2022 Special Session A and 2023 Special Session B) (1) No person shall operate a vehicle while wearing a headset, headphone, or other listening device, other than a hearing aid or instrument for the improvement of defective human hearing."

Things are ssssooo loud around here, whether it is LOUD music pumped out of passing cars or at the swimming pool. Or the LOUD older golf carts. Or the LOUD fire trucks. Or the LOUD people at the swimming pool. Or the LOUD CLINK, CLINK of the Pickle's balls. I end up carrying large mickey mouse-type ear defenders with me.
..........The ONLY loud things around here that I can live with are the LOUD shirts and pants that many retirees wear, the loud helicopters carrying residents to Gainsville or wherever, and the LOUD noises that the Geese make when they are getting the FLOCK out of there.

That is a VERY good point. Many people have cataracts and they get extra blinded. One fine day someone is going to be blinded and end up in a head-on collision with the light bar golf cart. (poetic justice) And why are they NOT adjustable downward? That would seem SIMPLE to accomplish.

That's a 2 WRONGS do NOT make a RIGHT situation. It is WRONG to walk around older drivers day or night wearing black or gray clothing and NOT walking against traffic. It is also WRONG to punish EVERY vehicle or pedestrian with " FLAME-THROWING" and blinding white light.
........The answer would be for community service to stop the pedestrians wearing dark colors and give them a WARNING ticket of some kind. Plus I feel that community service NEEDS to PERFORM more USEFUL functions in this town. And the Police (which there are NOT enough of IMO) could require those light bars to be adjusted downward and again a warning ticket, but a more serious one.
........And before some people say that it would be a waste of the Police's time.......I say that whenever Police show a presence and word gets around that they are interested in things like Light Bars then they are accomplishing something. Their involvement in light bars could prevent that head-on collision that is SURE TO HAPPEN if people fail to adjust those lights downward. Remember the old days when police were ubiquitous and they were your FRIEND. Just a matter of budgets and priorities.

Some people BLASTING music at swimming pools are unconscious Neanderthals that think that because THEY like it loud that they are doing EVERYONE a favor. I listened to the conversations of 2 men at the swimming pool (one of which was the owner of the BASTING music) - their conversation was at about a 4th or 5th grade level and it was punctuated with laughter and guffawing that would have made Butthead and Beaves proud.

Even worse at the swimming pool.

True that and where again IS the Police enforcement? This is about the 3rd situation mentioned in this ONE thread that could be improved by stricter and more numerous Police presence.

Now that IS a real good solution and shows a ton of empathy!

Volume IS volume. It would be equally distracting coming out of earphones or out of external speakers.

A great example of empathy and thoughtfulness.

Those that TODAY BLAST out their music MUST FEEL that by the time they get so OLD that they NO longer enjoy LOUD music that they will be PROTECTED by their HEARING LOSS !

Bluetooth speaker - great sound and portable. The installed one is way too big and expensive and loud.

They are... If you knew anything about that, you would know it...

But wait, I thought you didn't even have a golf cart...
