Getting Louder (MM #1796)

For some reason our neighborhood is getting louder. This has nothing to do with our neighbors. It’s all the cars coming through with loud mufflers and blasting car stereos. Does this have something to do with kids today, or is something changing in our quiet little neighborhood?
