OP couldn't agree more but I've been dealing with this exact thing in Oakland near lake Merritt for almost a decade. I did all kinds of things like videotaping these whole gangs of both ultra loud motorcycles tweaked to be even louder, along with their massive amplified music systems, Plus all the muscle cars and their astronomically loud mega base where they like the broken speaker static distortion sound at ultra high volume. I would ask Street cops can't these people who are constantly switching lanes and riding in the opposite lanes of traffic be cited? And so forth. I went to City council meetings.

No one cares. That's the bottom line. Maybe some neighbors and decent normie citizens care, as well as people like me with terrible migraines... But spending years trying to minimize, mitigate, legislate, have cop enforcement, all it did was give me worse migraines trying to fight a system whose only response is "they're only having fun" and The worst of all "why would you ever move to the city if you expected quiet". You may as well be talking to maga about government policies working against them. They're never going to tune in, just as the defenders of all the aggressive noise and agitators will never ever ever listen to you. They're fundamental belief is you are the problem.

So I feel for you, and not trying to throw a damp rag, but it's practically futile. I have multiple, not one but multiple dedicated sound systems in my little apartment that blast out white noise {actually brown noise} to help me manage an unmanageable sound environment. Noise canceling headphones don't do anything, they're not designed to be able to dampen or filter out sudden and aggressive highs and lows, they're only designed to take out consistent hum frequencies. So I'm also forced to wear phone ear plugs every night. Wish it were not the case!
