...the situation is far from being "some myth"...
OK...in my earnestness to get across a point that I have lived in places where I have known it much worse, noisier and more violent, I may have overstated my case (and, yes, forgive me, late-night noise in the middle of town is not a 'myth' as I put it before, but, to put it better, a problem that doesn't bother me personally). I would need to have a heart of stone (and, honestly, no irony or sarcasm is meant here) not to sympathize with your situation as you have described it, AHITS, but, perhaps, I simply enjoy living in an urban environment with noise and bustle outside continuously - indeed, the silence of a night in the country, with only the rustling of a hedgehog thro' the undergrowth or birds settling for the night to disturb it, would probably bother me more.
As I write, from my window I can see about fifteen people noisily making their way from one venue to another, or home, and I can hear the music from the pub up the road - if the noise bothers me too much I can just turn up my music ...and if it goes on when I am in my bed (and it usually does...one of the nightclubs is next door) then I am lucky enough to be able to get a good night's sleep without it bothering me.
