With respect Richard, bollocks. We've had this problem in Manchester where bijoux litle city centre pads have been created next door to long established venues and the new residents have attempted to have the venue shut down. Something that was a nuisance to no-one for years suddenly becoming a nuisance when people move nextdoor to it, which I think is the same sort of situation that Rahere is describing, is nothing like your example.

And folk enthusiasts can enjoy what you rather geriatrically call antisocial amplification if they want to. Eclectic taste is the new black.
