While driving east on Lowry between Penn and Lyndale, I encountered the
terrible sounds of a large SUV BOOM-car next to me, on my right in
traffic.
Here is what I did at that red light. I leaned on my car horn in a
continuous
fashion; one loud, long and unabated honnnnnnnnk.
Far from perfect, It may possibly be the most
effective, and only tool in our neighborhood tool box to deal with
this type of
goof; and grand nuisance.

The Star Tribune reported in 1997 that a Minneapolis City Council noise
ordinance targets noise from almost any source, with some exemptions
such as for aircraft in flight.
Fines for violating the ordinance are $200 for the first offense, $500
for the second offense, and $700 for the third. The ordinance
stipulates that a noise violation occurs if someone makes a noise 10
decibels above the accepted noise level between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., or
5 decibels above the accepted noise level between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
This could indicate both the horn honking and the loud car stereo are
in violation.
