A study conducted in Canada revealed that people who choose to modify their vehicles to have louder exhausts tend to exhibit traits of psychopathy and sadism.

The study, which focused on cars, found that owners who prefer loud exhausts are predominantly men and show a tendency to cause discomfort to others.

While it is not a guarantee of criminal behavior, the study suggests a correlation between the preference for noisy exhausts and personality traits that enjoy provoking irritation.

Furthermore, the results indicate that not only psychopathy and sadism are associated with this preference, but also the possibility of more extreme behaviors, such as starting illegal fires.

However, it is worth noting that the preference for noisy exhausts should not be generalized as a sole indicator of disturbing behavior, but rather as an aspect to be considered alongside other aspects of personality and human behavior.
