Wouldn’t the noise violation go to the property owner, not the guest? I fail to see why involving the police is not a deterrent.

Where I live (Poland) the owner suffers no repercussions, the police can only ticket the noisy guests.

This is going to be a pretty blow-below-the-belt suggestion for our (Polish) sensibilities, but since I have very little charity for antisocial behavior - especially of the "I profit, I don't care" kind, and doubly so when coordinated by a multinational corp pretending to be a hip tech company: I wonder if the owner is paying correct taxes on the money made from AirBnB leases. It would be a shame if the Revenue Service came and checked.
For a permanent neighbor at least you may be able to take some action against them but with Airbnb the people will change every few days or weeks.
When I lived next to several Airbnbs the problem was non stop. Sometimes I could talk to people and they would begrudgingly quiet down but in a few days they would be replaced by someone else and the whole thing would repeat. For tourists they are only there for a few days or weeks but for the people living there it is their whole life.
In my experience as well it's a lot more common to find bad tourists then bad permanent residents. A lot of tourists will be gone in a short time so a lot wont care how much noise they make or by the time they are told or realize they are being too loud you may get a few days of quite before someone new turns up. Most permanent residents have to see each other a lot more and the repercussions for upsetting their neighbor are much more likely.
