Which Color Is Loudest?

According to some German researchers, the answer is red.

No, seriously, I’m not making this up.

OK, that’s a pretty small sample size, but still, just for the sake of discussion, there’s some pretty weird psychoacoustics going on here if the results were to hold in an expanded experiment.

Also, I wonder if this study could be used in a court of law to mitigate against specific kinds of fix-it tickets?

Not to mention that this hits owners of red cars doubly hard, since red cars get more speeding tickets than other colors, it seems that if this study proves correct then red cars could be getting unfairly punished due to color.
