When I saw the thread title and just the start of the thread, I immediately thought of the bagpipe music I used to hear many years ago. There was a hill I'd climb regularly where someone in one of houses would practice. It always made me smile.

Oh to my surprise, it was also bagpipe music you also heard! Cool. It is an instrument that carries quite a bit. You're right, though, on the bike, in passing, it is lovely....but, in person, it can be a little overbearing.
