I used to live on a pedestrian street used by skateboarders, also containing a glass recycling bin. Emptying the glass bin was loud, but the noise lasted 5 seconds roughly once per week. I don't care about that. The skateboarders were a very minor annoyance, and I accepted it as part of living in the centre of a city where there were very, very few residents. The sound was confined pretty much to that single street, unlike vehicle-type noises which seem to travel much further.
