In a room with wall-to-wall carpet, the carpet fibers can absorb sound waves, resulting in dampened sound. This requires the volume to be higher to compensate for the absorption of sound. In contrast, in a room with a wooden floor, sound waves can reflect off the hard surface, producing a louder effect with less volume needed.

What could the problem be if the stereo stays on after the truck is turned off.?

Has it always been like this or not? If it is, then it is not really a problem. It is how the stereo was installed. An stereo can be installed to be turned on whether the engine is on or off. If the stereo cannot be turned off at all, then you have a problem with your stereo.


WHY MUST THE VOLUME OF A STEREO IN A ROOM WITH WALL TO WALL CARPET BE TURNED HIGHER THAN IN A ROOM WITH A WOODEN FLOOR?

A room with wall-to-wall carpet absorbs sound, causing it to be softer and less reflective. In contrast, a room with a wooden floor reflects sound more, making it louder and requiring a lower volume setting on the stereo to achieve the desired sound level.
