I don't live by the clubs. Unfortunately, sometimes clubs open up in places that were quieter businesses that closed. There are always petitions to close these clubs. Sometimes that is successful at either reducing the noise or closing the clubs.
There was a story about how the Meat Packing District in NYC is becoming more residential. People who moved in were annoyed that they were being awakened at the crack of dawn by trucks picking up meat. Guess what? You moved into a neighborhood called the Meat Packing District not the library quiet hours district so suck it up.
Mayor Bloomberg is trying to make NYC less noisy. Part of his plan is to make the Mr. Softee ice cream sellers stop playing their jingle. I really think that he has gone too far. I loved that as a child. I heard that jingle and I drooled like Pavlov's dog and begged my mother for money for ice cream. Good times.
