This doesn't add up. At best your overall freedom remains the same. You gain quiet, you lose the freedom to make noise yourself. Seems like a net-negative to me.

Consider how little freedom you would have if laws were enforced to the lowest common denominator of what people find acceptable.

I can go into the countryside and make noise all day. I don't see that there's a pre-existing freedom to inflict loud noises on my neighbors for no useful purpose.

You most definitely cannot disturb wildlife or rural communities with noise.

[anigbrowl]

Don't be pedantic, I specifically said my intention was not to inflict unwanted noise on my neighbors.

[namaria]

Don't be daft. There is no vacuum where you can go be a massive tool and not face any consequences.

You're missing the point that the freedom from and freedom to may be weighted differently for each individual.

For instance I lose almost nothing by not having the freedom to carry a weapon (UK) as I have no desire to do so, while gaining a lot from having the freedom to not risk my child being murdered at school.

It's an extreme example but applies to a lesser degree for other freedoms, and I've personally found I often benefit more from freedoms-from than freedoms-to.

I'd love it if no vehicle could exceed 30 mph in town as I gain almost no benefit from being able to do so, while taking on significant risk from others being able to.
