As someone who has to endure modified cars doing laps around a nearby supermarket parking lot starting every evening at 10pm now, I wish this was a thing everywhere.
I can live with tire/wind noise - it's wide spectrum, so not that unpleasant. Also noise-canceling headphones reduce it greatly.
But anything that has discernible harmonics wakes me up immediately.
I live in a building with a large courtyard (inspired by the architecture of Barcelona I guess, only it's a single unit, so not terribly well thought through) which amplifies every sound that gets in and bounces around the walls.
There's a railway a kilometer away which I hear much better than people living closer to it because of this, but that normally doesn't disturb my sleep.
What did to my surprise a few days ago was a phone conversation some drunk had - it wasn't even loud, just noticable - I suppose because it was human speech.
