You're only thinking of it from the point of view of the dissatisfied person. Put yourself in the shoes of the person "messing with your night rest" without demonizing them. But why do you already have laws and bylaws for that sort of thing if you want to punish people for offenses that explicitly fall below the level of what the law disallows?

My concern is the kind of problem that happens in abusive workplaces, school bullying, abusive relationships, etc. Without rules, the powerful people slowly edge the victims out by always finding something they're doing "wrong". The victim may even believe it and keep trying to please but eventually be expelled anyway.

If you’re outside partying with loud music in a residential area, keeping kids out of their sleep, at some point, you just have to go.
