Or maybe your area has a lot of trees and you get a half dozen crows cawing up a storm every morning at first light.
Any or all of the above can happen anywhere, and frankly I'm surprised the murder rates in all major cities aren't higher than they are. Who among us hasn't felt the urge to take a shotgun to the odd crow or yappy dog, or to lob a grenade into the nieghbor's yard? ha

I almost felt this pain. I live in a decently quiet neighborhood. My neighbor moved and the people that moved in had three loud kids and one of those yipping dogs that never shut up. The first few days they were there I tried to ignore them and assumed they were just getting used to a new place and things would quiet down. It didn't. After a week of them running around screaming I went over to talk to them. I was just going to introduce myself and drop the hint that I worked at home so maybe they would realize leaving the dog out to bark all day was not a good idea.
Luckily for me they told me they had just bought the house, were renovating it and were then going to rent it out so the kids and dog were just there with them while they worked on the house. A few days later the loud construction started, but it only lasted a few days and within a month they were gone and the new neighbors are a couple of college girls who are sharing the place and seem to be pretty quiet, normal people.
But as you said it has nothing to do with money. There are annoying people everywhere.
