Yes, and even if something is super annoying, it might be legal. For example they listened to music until 2-3 in the morning a lot of cases. Thumping reggaeton. And while it for sure wasn't over legal limit by decibel, the bass made my bed shake.

It all depends. But in general you have a common law right to peaceful enjoyment of your property.

The one noise ordinance I've read in full also said that, even if the decibel limit is not exceeded, an audible beat or bass can also be cited.
