So...yes...it is the owner's car but that doesn't mean he has the right to directly and negatively impact others. This is no different than driving at 70 mph through neighborhood streets or being a left lane hog. Yes...it is the owner's car but that doesn't give the owner the right to do whatever he wants when his actions affect others.
It really gets to me when a driver is going down a residential street with these loud sounds and his windows are all closed. Maybe he needs the loud sound to hear it through the windows.

So your entire point is that some guy running a burble tune as he drives by you is so invasive to your life, that's it's affecting you so much, that he shouldn't legally be able to do it?
Maybe they shouldn't legally be able to add an aftermarket BOV because the "whoosh" sound is more than you can deal with, and it's affecting your way of life so negatively.
Maybe they shouldn't be able to wrap their car bright pink because it's so invasive to you, it affects your way of life and your view from behind th wheel.
Maybe the tacky M3 badge they have on their car makes you so furious, and gives you such a migraine headache......they should just throw him in jail for causing you so much pain and hardship in your life.
Maybe their shouldn't be able to listen to their stereo with the windows down because it's more than you should have to deal with.......etc,etc,etc.
A burble tune is not dangerous to anyone.....it's not like driving through a residential neighborhood at 70mph. A burble tune does not clog up traffic like left lane campers.
All a burble tune does is give people like you one more thing to complain about.
Good lord.....what a snowflake. Why do you hate freedom so much?
