Is it illegal to blast music while driving?

Are there laws against playing my music too loud while I’m driving in Tennessee? I love blasting my music while I’m driving but I don’t want to get into trouble for it!

Liz Jenson · Updated on Feb 2, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

While there are no federal laws against blasting your music while you’re driving, you can still get in trouble in Tennessee if your

is clearly audible from a distance of 50 feet away or more.

If you do get a ticket for a loud sound system, you’ll have to pay a fine of up to $50. The offense is classified as a Class C misdemeanor.

To make sure that your music is at a good volume, have someone stand outside of your car while you turn on your stereo. Then, the person outside of your car can let you know when your music has reached a good level.

While you’re learning more about noise laws in Tennessee, why not learn about your insurance options too? The

app can help you find the best rates on the coverage you need in a matter of minutes. Just download the app, answer some quick questions, and choose from competitive quotes from 50-plus top insurance companies. Jerry takes care of the rest!
