Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar hell. I understand that emotions are high on this topic, but comments like this are a noticeable step in precisely the wrong direction, and strongly against the site guidelines.
How about 24hrs? Now that's torture, or as we Americans like to claim "enhanced interrogation"... [Enemy combatants were exposed to sensory deprivation which included 24hrs of American heavy metal music and 24hrs of flood spotlights to prevent sleeping.]
I get it, after living peacefully before these protests started it might appear as torture, however it is again just annoying behavior not torture. As mentioned by other comments, ear plugs are a thing, sleeping pills could help, glass of warm milk perhaps.
You have options in this scenario, unlike when you are being physically tortured, you have no options but to endure.

You pretty much proved my point by diminishing the one particular source of noise that you personally don't consider "as bad".
