I don't see why causing a nuisance over any period of time should entitle you

Custom and Practice. Those words have some legal resonance.

Is it OK to have slaves then? Or enjoy child prostitutes? Or go thieving?

Custom and practice, don'tcha know.

None of your examples have legal resonance.

Can you tell me exactly which words in the English language do have 'legal
resonance' then?

Whatever that is.

"Custom and Practice" as a phrase carries weight when part of a legal argument.

Only in connection with employment contracts.

It's not a universal get out of jail free card.

I didn't say it was. The point I was making is that if something is
established practice then the consensus of the people affected by a
complained-about noise nuisance will be taken into account when a court
decides whether there really is a nuisance to be dealt with or a
vexatious complaint.
