You can hear music through rolled up windows. A single pane of glass, unfortunately, doesn't magically stop sound waves and intense vibrations.
While a single pane of glass does not block all sound waves it does block a majority of them. Also those individuals who blast their music in public are a minority compared to those who do not, thus making it improper for the government to step in.
Property management doesn't care unless it's "quiet hours."
Some do, some don't. This is dependent upon the living area. Once again local authorities (as their are city laws/state laws/etc which cover such matters) are only a call away.
Personal taste is exactly my point, which you missed apparently. No one should be subjected to anyone else's taste. If it's going to be loud, it should at the VERY least not be offensive. Hence my statement, "Bach or even Weird Al is one thing. Salt n Pepa or Public Enemy is one thing, this shit is quite another.",
Offense is also a matter of personal taste. For many bach, mozart, and other famous classical composers are viewed as offensive, for others post modernistic music is considered offensive. Who is to say which cultures values are higher then anothers?
I don't necessarily like Public Enemy, but at least most of their lyrics are LYRICS and not a string of vulgarities.
both of which are a form of artistic expression. when the statue of david was first displayed it was considered vulgar. yet many today would argue that it is art in its prime.
That was the point. You can't police someone's volume level every hour of every day- you CAN police the lyrics before they hit mass consumption.

True you can, but should we? The answer is No.
