Tokyo isn't loud at all. Go 2-3 blocks from any major street and they are practically silent.
> drunk people singing on the streets
never seen this
> bousouzoku gangs constantly revving their bikes in silent neighborhoods every night
seen this maybe twice in 25 years
> flight traffic noise
do you live next to the airport? this is not a thing relatively to any other major city I've lived in
> railroad noise of the trains passing, level crossing barriers constantly ding-donging
This is only a thing if you live next to a track which is like 1% of housing
Well, then it's clear you don't have enough experience to objectively judge the situation.
I lived near 5 different stations in Tokyo in 10 years and all of those were how I described it.
I also lived in Saitama and Kanagawa. It's the same there too.
Maybe you should get more exerience first and live longer in Japan?
I lived in Japan 2x long than you. You just said you lived near stations so there you go. Of course it’s loud next to the station. Walk 3 minutes perpendicular to the station and it’s silent
