Do yourself a favor, if you are honestly interested and not "trolling", then query your favorite scholarly search engine for the effects of noise on plant and animal life and find some information that will be helpful. I can almost guarantee you will find something to read; however I refuse to do it for you. Here is a balanced study that relates the necessary decibels to impact pollination/predation in a controlled study at a level of 12 db[0]. 12 db is significantly less than the energy produced from human conversation at a distance of 3 feet.
The word you are grasping for but missing is "aggregate".
Spare me the rest of your hyperbole. I can't speak for others but I have zero use for your "idioms" as evidence or exasperations as they add nothing to the conversation.
Finally, if you prefer analogies, please consider this one: "It's not like the CO2 the exhaust from my car emits can actually affect global warming since it is only slightly higher than my neighbors". Noise and light pollution are real and growing faster than the rate of human population, sorry to ruin your day.

And I have little use for your deliberate obtuseness. The display of exasperation and disbelieve is me calling you out for obvious general unpleasantness.
But no, you are right. Bicycle coconut clappers have undoubtedly destroyed your environment.
