Well I just have to branch from common opinion in this thread by saying you should have gotten the ticket. If it was that damn loud then you couldn't have possibly heard well enough for traffic like a distant approaching ambulance, a horn if you accidently start drifting towards another lane, etc.
Also, about not paying the ticket...the old expression "ignorance of the law is not an excuse" will surely apply; I seriously doubt it'll work for the judge.
