Even if it's ineffective, it's still a psychological safety blanket. It's much the same reason that bikers ride in groups.

I'll keep that in mind next time a loud bike wakes up my children in the middle of the night.

"It's okay honey, that man needed a psychological safety blanket.'

This!! Mufflers and subwoofers wake up my child in the middle of the night and only we know how long it takes to fall asleep again. Its frustrating because both of these sources are completely unnecessary

My kids would find that hilarious, and I'd have to resign myself to hearing it after every motorcycle that passes for weeks.

Isn't that to say that's its worse than ineffective? That suggests it causes bikers to do more dangerous things because they think the loudness is protecting them
