What if you think you should be able to enjoy peace and quiet and your neighbour wants to play loud music constantly?
These sorts of issues are examples of where we must accept that we live in an imperfect world, and, as such, we must make compromises. I completely agree that one should not be allowed to freely emit noise pollution, as it directly affects the livelihoods of all who are within earshot – imparting a psychological cost, one could say. It is not realistic to say that everyone must be completely quiet unless all parties affected have given their consent, and as such, we make reasonable limits based on context as to the amount of noise pollution that we can generate. These limits are most commonly implemented as municipal noise pollution bylaws.
Do you know hitting that disagree button is trying to silence my free speech?
On the contrary. If I hit the dislike button, I am actually making use of my free speech. The fact that you are able to say that you think I am silencing your free speech is proof that you still maintain your freedom of speech. Now, if I somehow had the ability to remove your comment (looking at you, mods), that would be silencing your free speech.

You do realize that virtually every municipality in existence has noise bylaws, right?

Why? The right to the freedom of speech is not a right to not be offended.
I am an advocate of the use of one’s voice over the use of violence.
