The only time time I stayed in noisy hotels was long, long ago when I was
travelling on the cheap, and it had less to do with the hotel than the
surrounding neighborhood..

For the last 13 years I have traveled just about every business week.
Early on I learned to carry with me a Sharper Image travel-sized white
noise radio. This device, which omits white noise similar to a waterfall
when switched on, has been responsible for many a restful night's sleep,
including one week at a very loud Brooklyn, NY, hotel.

I would suspect that most experienced travelers, including airline pilots,
do something similar.
