The public nuisance laws are pretty hard to enforce on a moving target. Some guy drove by playing loud music I didn't like, is apt to bring a shrug from the cops.
It's not just a matter of “music I didn't like“. It's a matter of making so much gratuitous noise that it disrupts whatever else I am trying to watch, listen to, or otherwise do, and deprives me of much-needed peace. Once it was some asshole loudly playing crap right outside my window, when I needed to make an important phone call to make arrangements for surgery a few days hence.
And of course, in many cases, it's a drive by, as you said, a “moving target”. Loud enough to wake me and/or my wife (it happens at all hours, even when productive people with jobs need to be sleeping) or to disrupt a conversation, or just give me a headache, and then he's gone long before any cops would be able to arrive if I called them.
