Well, radar vectors are pretty cut and dried - you go where they say.

That's not what I meant. I meant that if only all pilots were fully competent
and all non-pilots were fully incompetent. But the reality is otherwise.

I agree that airplane noise in that and most other cities is insignificaznt
compared with road traffic noise. . .

Unfortunately, everyone drives cars, but hardly anyone flies airplanes, so
cars get the special consideration.
