Anonymous wrote:OP, I agree with everyone that this sounds like a behavior issue and something your son needs to just learn to cope with and be polite about, but may I also gently suggest restraining yourself from singing when you two are in the car together anyway? One really obvious coping mechanism is to remove oneself from the situation, but if you're in a car, you're stuck. You can't get out.
This is a two-way street: reacting to irritating noises by screaming and ranting at the person making them is very rude, but deliberately making noise that you know aggravates someone when they are stuck in an enclosed space with you and cannot escape is also not great. My family always had a rule that certain subjects of discussion that usually set off arguments or turned to nagging/haranguing were not allowed in the car because there was no way for anybody to leave to cool off and no choice about whether to be subjected to it.
