I currently live in such a neighborhood that checks all those boxes. Honestly it doesn't bother me that much. An interior bedroom and solid brick exterior walls mean I don't hear much from outside while I'm asleep.
I agree zoning is the wrong way to address this. What's needed is a responsive police force that will address noise complaints. Unfortunately police in areas where these things tend to be a problem have more important things to attend to most of the time.
My dog almost pulled out of his harness and took off a few weeks ago because of some random evening fireworks. It's not a harmless thing.

If you know of any, let me know. The problem is that any harness you buy will get more loose as it is warn, and panicked dogs can get out of a harness the same way you can get out of a t-shirt: line your head and arms up along the same axis and back up. A harness is only really effective if the dog is moving forward and away from you, not if they are backing away from you in a desperate panic.

A few weeks ago was the fourth of July, maybe it wasn't that random.

On the 4th, it wasn't random. The days following? I can't predict when fireworks are going to go off. (That's irrelevant anyway, as the dog needs to go out regardless of the date.)

Sounds like your dog is the problem here.
People always say "oh well if your neighbor did X you'd want zoning too". I've lived in those kinds of places and I mind the end-game of escalating lower class trashiness a lot less than I mind the endgame of upper middle class conformity. Bring on the fireworks, the ATVs, the loud music in languages I don't even speak and the drunken arguments.
