Again, my platform as a candidate for mayor of Chicago:
The Quiet Mayor
(1) Ban car alarms. Their benefits (they are completely ineffective as deterrents) are grossly outweighed by their costs (annoying the shit out of everybody).
(2) Issue citations for excessive horn honking.* This applies to you, cabbies.
(3) Lower the volume on emergency vehicles. Yeah, we can fucking hear you. In fact, lawsuits have been filed on behalf of fireman for loss of hearing. Lower it a bit.
*yes, I know the subjectivity of this renders enforcement virtually impossible, but I'm not actually running for mayor, so fuck off.

Excessive car honking is easily determined by an objective formula: if you are warning someone that your brakes are nonfunctional and you are about to plow into them, one long honk is allowed. Any other horn use is excessive.
What's hard about enforcing that?
