[[Black Hat]] and [[Cueball]] are standing inside a room behind a window hearing an obnoxious car outside playing loud music with deep bass. Black Hat, owing to his destructive nature, has created a machine that is able to blow out the car's speakers. The machine evidently does this by playing the same soundwaves back at the car but with the {{w|Phase (waves)|phase}} slightly offset, tuning the phase difference to create a {{w|resonance}} in the car's speakers big enough for them to destroy themselves. In a stroke of evil, he then starts playing Shirley Ellis' ''{{w|The Name Game}}'' to show how annoying the man was acting. Cueball is horrified by this act of evil, as Black Hat carries on into the song {{w|Macarena (song)|''Macarena''}}.

The title text refers to comic [[316: Loud Sex]], where an elliptical reflector is used to focus sound waves from a couple having sex. Black Hat obviously gets annoyed by this and sometimes uses his machine to retaliate.
