In cities - where we have a great number of other people around us - we have to accept the noise level which the majority deems tolerable. Most of the noise is from buses and lorries, which we cannot take away unless we want to make life impossible in the cities. But nobody disagrees that excessive noise is intolerable, such as modified motorcycle exhausts, loud parties in a residential building etc.

So I think in this case "just move" is appropriate advice. Or are you going to kick the asses of each and every person who lives in your city until you get your will through?
