Lemmy, how would you feel about a law that bans radio stations from playing commercials with honking/beeping/siren noises in them? (lemmy.world)

Here in the Netherlands we already have such law. I can't imagine how bad commercials can be with it. There is no reason except creating shock of confusion for such sound in a commercial and those things are not something you want in a car.

In America it’s more likely that we ban the use of radios in cars

No, they'll make you pay a subscription for it.

😂A scant $8.99/month for siren free radio 😆

That is, for about 2 years until they add the sirens back in and offer a $21.99/month ultra premium service with no siren sounds.

Free radio is now nothing but sirens and commercials 24/7
