    Closing doors too loudly is illegal what the fuck?

      Noise is a public nusince. I definitely wouldn’t want my neighbours constantly slamming their doors at night. I doubt you are going to get fined if you are slamming your door occasionally or in the middle of the woods.

      Laws exist to ensure that we can all live peacefully together. I think most people agree that excessive noise is more of a negative than a positive. Most places have similar curfew laws where excessive noise at night is not allowed.

        I guess I’ve just never even heard of that situation happening in real life so it’s weird seeing it explicitly written in a law

          Some laws are reactionary and some are preemptory. Laws are, most simply, a codified agreement on how we live.
