You will also hear a bong as well.
Better bet instead of turning them off, get yourself a better battery

Been told if your car is petrol it's better using the battery from a diseal as they retain more charge.
This advice was given to me from a car audio expert when I asked about dimming headlights from the subwoofer pounding notes

Yeah Varta are one of the best ones, if you are running a nice audio set up I would go for one that is for your car but go for the heavy duty one and you will be fine.

When my batteries have died I have always replaced with the diesel version they last longer with a basic audio set up.
