We make it illegal to eat or use cell phones while driving because distracted driving is dangerous, yet it's ok to rattle everyone's windows with your Harley.

Even if somehow it is 'safer' for the biker it's definitely not for everyone else.

It’s not “ok”, we have the same laws against loud exhausts. They’re just not enforced. Why? I have no idea. Should be easier to enforce than cellphones.

It's much safer than not hearing traffic or covering sounds from the environment using a car stereo though.
