Possibly there's a simpler solution. A few years ago San Francisco passed a law requiring developers to notify potential residents if there is a nearby music venue, and also protecting those venues from nuisance lawsuits.[1] Perhaps that could serve as a model for public spaces as well.

I doubt it would work. Have you been to Barcelona? People party and make noise even without a music venue. Then there are concerts that get organized in squares. This one is easy to solve because it requires a permit from the city hall.

Yes I have been to Barcelona, but I think you misunderstood my point. The article is about a public space known as a regular gathering spot, not a one-off concert or party. That regularity is what makes it similar to a venue.
