Car Music Rule : In India, everyone must properly follow the requirements outlined in the Motor Vehicles Act when driving. Violations of these laws can result in penalties or fines. One example is the ban on playing music in cars. There are regulations limiting the volume of music played, and you cannot simply play music at full volume as you choose; doing so can result in complications.
If you’re driving with the soundtrack playing at an uncomfortable volume but no one else can hear it, you might assume it’s fine. However, if the music is loud enough to be heard by others and disturb them, you may run into problems. While this does not necessarily violate the Motor Vehicles Act, it may restrict the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules of 2000, resulting in a fine.

Everyone in India has the freedom to live their own lives. However, this freedom is limited by the fact that it is no longer valid if it interferes with the freedom of another person. You are free to play music in your automobile, but it is illegal if the volume is high enough to annoy hearing-sensitive people.
The Central Pollution Control Board has established standards for permissible noise levels. The permitted noise level for loudspeakers during the day is 50 decibels (dB), whereas at night it is 45 decibels. A automobile loudspeaker serves as a loudspeaker and thus is subject to these laws.
What happens if you break the Car Music Rule
Parking a car in a residential neighbourhood with a speaker that makes too much noise might land you in jail for up to five years and fined ₹1 lakh. Additionally, using pressure horns illegally can result in a ₹10,000 punishment. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) states that loudspeakers are not permitted between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
