Extremely loud sound systems in automobiles may violate the noise ordinance of some municipalities. Some cities have even outlawed so called "boom cars", vehicles containing loud stereo systems that emit low frequency sound, usually with an intense amount of bass. A number of organizations and websites are dedicated to lobbying for tougher restrictions on boom cars, citing that they disturb the peace and cause documented health problems. Noise Free America, a non-profit group, cites boom cars as one of the most problematic sources of noise pollution.In 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a guide to police officers on how to deal with problems associated with boom cars.
