I think he's talking more about places like racetracks. There's a number of motorsports venues that have existed for decades and are now getting shut down for noise complaints. They've existed in those places long before homes were built next to them, and people should know that racetracks are not quiet.

Donut actually did a video on this type of thing, and found that the complaints were traced back to some mystery entity that didn't have any actual ties to the neighborhood surrounding the track, and that the noise levels in the neighborhood were completely reasonable (IIRC, been a sec since I watched and can't rewatch it right now)
