    In Germany:

    When using vehicles, unnecessary noise and avoidable exhaust pollution are prohibited. In particular, it is prohibited to run vehicle engines unnecessarily and to close vehicle doors excessively loudly. Unnecessary driving to and fro within built-up areas is prohibited if it causes a nuisance to others.

    §30 (1), StVO

      Closing doors too loudly is illegal what the fuck?

          I guess I’ve just never even heard of that situation happening in real life so it’s weird seeing it explicitly written in a law

            Some laws are reactionary and some are preemptory. Laws are, most simply, a codified agreement on how we live.
