I think it depends on how loud the noise is. I live in an apartment where 2 out of 5 days, someone steam wash their carpet, which means a van would park outside the building, making a loud, constant, humming noise for an hour. I can't nap to it; I can't work with it; it's as disruptive as leaf blowers and explosive-driven motorcycles. At some volume, we just don't adapt to it anymore.
I'm not sure where you live but I found when I traveled to the USA, I was appalled at the level of noise disturbances you put up with.
For reference, I live on one of the busiest roads in London, so I'm not particularly noise sensitive. But in the USA, it was just constant sound everywhere I went. Cars honking when unlocked, multiple sirens within earshot most of the time I was in any large city, people leaving their cars to "warm up" on their driveway, leaf blowers, shouting. It's constant, all hours of the night.
In London, we still very much aren't a 24/7 city. At around 11pm the traffic really dies off and most people are on their way to bed. You still get the odd lorry or ambulance, but even ambulances don't run their siren unless necessary.
