I dont know if that would qualify as 'noise' Mark. That very sound used to remind me that summer had arrived. Dont hear or see much of ice cream vans now...not down on the seafront. Although if they disturb young kids while sleeping I can see how it could be a pain.
One thing we do get annoyed with down here being next to a carpark, is the inevitable car alarm. Touch wood but the manufacturers seem to have improved them a tad in recent times as they dont seem to be as bad or as sensitive as they used to be.
Although I havent spoke tooo soooon I hope....
