Rules For Playing Music In Car: Some rules have been set under the Motor Vehicles Act regarding driving on the roads in India. Everyone has to follow those rules. If someone ignores these rules made under the Motor Vehicles Act. Then there is a provision for punishment along with fines. Often you must have seen a lot of vehicles passing on the roads.

In which very loud music is playing. But do you know that rules have also been set for playing music in the car? That is, you cannot play songs as loud as you want. Doing this can create problems for you. Know at what volume you can be punished for playing songs in a car.

What do the rules say about playing music in the car?

Let us tell you that if you are sitting somewhere in the car. Or going somewhere. And you are listening to songs at high volume. Then you do not need to panic. Because doing so is not a direct violation of the rules. But if the sound is going out of your car. And is disturbing the people around.

Then this can become a difficult lesson for you. If not under the Motor Vehicles Act, action can be taken against you under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules-2000. In such a case, you may have to pay a fine.

How loud can you play music?

Everyone in India has the right to live their life freely. But that freedom is only till the time your freedom does not hurt the freedom of others. That means you have absolutely the right to play music in the car. But if you are playing music in the car. And its sound is coming out very loudly. Then this right turns into a crime.

Some standards have been set by the Central Pollution Control Board for this. For example, a loudspeaker can be used up to 50 decibels during the day and 45 decibels at night. The speaker installed in the car works as a speaker. That is why it also comes under this category.

What will happen if the rule is broken?

If someone parks his car in a residential area and plays music at a high volume and crosses the noise pollution limit, then he can be imprisoned for up to 5 years and fined up to Rs 1 lakh.
