Many US cities and towns permit construction to happen at relatively early hours - like 6 or 7 AM. That’s usually not a problem if you’re a 9-5er.
It is a massive problem if you work late shifts. My wife works in the restaurant business and 6 or 7 AM she’s still deep asleep.
We had construction near our condo for nearly three years where spring, summer, and fall the jackhammers started at around a little before 7 every weekday. It was brutal for her.
That, plus various other issues, lead us to decide our next home is going to be a quiet single family home in a suburb. Yes - a suburb!

Yes, I ran into that pain while working graveyard, myself. Simply no way to work around it.
Awfully uncharitable of all those construction workers to whom I'd just sold coffee and snacks, to make a bunch of noise and keep me awake, imo.
