Playing car audio should be at an appropriate volume, only quietly audible inside the car, to allow hearing surrounding sounds in case of unusual events. Especially when driving in rainy conditions, drivers who play music too loudly will have reduced concentration while driving. They might not hear horns from cars behind wishing to overtake, or the sound of stones or various objects hitting the car. Especially audio systems that are loud enough to compete with rain from outside can make drivers lose awareness of the road conditions, potentially driving into potholes or high flood areas without realizing it more easily than usual, and may reduce their ability to swerve or change lanes in an emergency, as concentration is excessively diverted to the audio system.
The Pollution Control Department warns! Playing loud music that disturbs others, both at home and while driving, carries penalties of both imprisonment and fine. Many of you may not know that neighbors or drivers playing loud disturbing music is an illegal act. The Pollution Control Department has issued a warning to those who disturb others by playing loud music, stating that playing music too loudly carries both imprisonment and fine. Playing music loudly to disturb others is considered an act that causes annoyance and disturbance to others, with the penalties specified as follows:
Criminal Code Section 370
Whoever makes noise and causes sound or uproar without reasonable cause, causing alarm or annoyance to the public, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 1,000 Baht. And in the case of driving a car with loud music, causing annoyance to other road users, distracting others from driving, it is also an offense. And not only does it distract others, but the driver himself also loses concentration. Why? Let's find out!
Why? You shouldn't play loud music!
Many people enjoy listening to music while driving, even singing along. Not just singing, but also swaying their heads and bodies playfully. Of course, doing so makes the driver happy, in a good mood, and joyful. But did you know that doing this can cause the driver to lose the concentration that every driver should strongly possess?
From research findings for people listening to music while driving, scientists from University College London or UCL in England have studied and found that music heard while driving contributes to a decrease in driver concentration from normal levels, and also affects reaction times, causing them to slow down.
From a survey of sample groups, it was found that most people tend to avert their gaze from the road ahead to look at the sound source or speakers in the car. This is because scientists believe that the human brain has an expectation and seeks out what we hear, and that is the moment that causes you to lose concentration while driving.
This is consistent with research findings in Israel, which delve into details such as the type of music listened to while driving, stating that... music used for dancing or exercise is not suitable for listening to while driving, as the excessively fast tempo of the music also affects driving behavior.

Furthermore, if a driver plays loud music, in the event of an accident or if their own car develops an abnormal symptom, the driver might not hear it, which could also lead to serious accidents.
Land Traffic Act B.E. 2522, Section 43
Prohibits drivers from driving without regard for the safety or well-being of others. Punishment: liable to imprisonment for not exceeding 3 months, or a fine from 2,000 Baht to 10,000 Baht, or both imprisonment and fine. Investigating officers cannot settle the fine at the police station; the case must be brought to court only.
