Consider another irritation: that of the noisy behavior of others such as young teenagers racing their motorbikes up and down your street or celebrating together in front of your house late at night. These and similar actions are logical robbers of your peace and joy that would normally result in anger. Experiment with reverse evolution. Desire to be as young as those noisy teenagers are by shrinking the age difference between you and them in order to share in their uninhibited adolescent joy.
