Well it isn't the matter of the actual decibel. Exhaust has a tone. Music has words and lyrics. Many of which are very offensive. This is why "noise" violations for stereos is far greater. That is why stereos get hit harder. You are forcing the crap you are listening to on the people around you. You may think being a wigger a jigger or whatever is the coolest thing to happen since sliced bread.....but guess what. The family with young kids doesn't want to listen to your shit.
