To add to this, your interpretation is of course correct. On a more general note, the person who wouldn’t think at something like I did think is either a saint when it comes to noise, has way better noise insulation than my appartment has or is a liar. On a more serious note, I have a friend who used to live two blocks away from where I live, at an even worst spot when it came to street noise (just close to the exit of an underground passage, where riders use to floor it as they exit it at night) and that noise was one of the biggest factors of him and his wife moving from where once they had their first child. He had indeed contacted the local police more than once for this noise thing, long story short it was all for nothing.
