Low frequency sounds can be listened to at higher volumes without damaging hearing. This means the low frequency loud resonance you get in the car with the windows down is less likely do damage your hearing than equally loud music with a range of frequency content. However **any** sound loud enough can damage your hearing, so I’m in no way saying windows down is safe. (Even sounds too high/low frequency to hear can cause damage)
