Last year I earned overtime by helping with the New York City 411 system handling fireworks complaints. Your chart above is pretty much on spot. Honestly, it broke my heart because of all of these people who couldn't sleep, not just that night, but because people down the street had been shooting off fireworks all night the entire week previously, or who had family members who were vets and were having PTSD because of the explosions. All I could do was to offer sympathy and patch them through to their local 911 dispatcher, who simply didn't have enough officers available to handle noise complaints in addition to the usual robbery and mayhem of a weekend in NYC. (If the caller threatened to go out there and take care of those $$$$$$$$ himself, that was a different matter, and got patched to a different office to take care of things immediately.)

My old girlfriend kept trying to put me down. That's one of the hazards of going out with a veterinarian.
