Scope

What are the psychoacoustic, socio-psychological, historical, and other types of explanations to the interest that many people - primarily young males - exhibit towards the sounds of (often loud) combustion engines, such as those of motorcycles, motor boats, and racing cars?

The sounds emitted by such vehicles cause adverse health effects when perceived as environmental noise in communities. Therefore, answers into the above question may lead to new approaches for the partial mitigation of community noise problems.

Definition

Data

It is a well-known fact that many of these vehicles are intentionally manufactured or rendered by their users to produce much more sound than would be necessary using standard technological solutions (e.g. mufflers) available. Thus, what are the stated and unstated (whether concious or not) purposes of trying to achieve this sound - as viewed by the manufacturers, sellers, and users of such vehicles?

Dependencies

List of upstream variables.
The variables can be listed used descriptive (free-format) names or unambiguous identifiers
(e.g. Analytica IDs).

Unit

Unit in which the result is expressed.

Formula

Algebra or other explicit methods if possible
(e.g. Analytica code between the <anacode> </anacode> tags).

Result

If possible, a numerical expression or distribution.
