It wouldn't take much for a live band or a industrial sized stereo to create a nuisance. There is a very simple solution - move the entrtainment inside. You seem like a very thoughtful and considerate person, I'm surprised that you would expect residents to put up with that noise just so a few can party outdoors rather than indoors.

As to the "big city" issue - note that TV is not in a big city. If people wanted to retire in a big city, then that is what they should expect.
However, when retiring to TV, I don't think people should be subjected to late night noise.

I live on Odell and my house is closer to Havana than most houses across from the CC.

The noise level is quite tolerable and shifts with the wind, sometimes you can't hear it at all.
And if you really want to block out the noise you can close the lanai door.....
silence.
