Am I alone to hate noisy fireworks?

It is festive season here (10 Nov is a sort of Indianized Christmas, called as "Diwali" in India). Except Goa which is predominantly Christian, everywhere else in India the unbearably ear-piercing, high-decibel fireworks seem to be endlessly cracking. While those silent fireworks which go up the sky and splash into multi-colors is fascinating, those ground-level fireworks which do nothing but burst out with an incredibly high volume is devastating. Not only the pet dog or children, it even infuriates well-built adults at times. Having lived in Arab countries, it was completely noise-free without any such high volume fireworks (but for few bomb blasts in the vicinity though, alas). Having become a "Returning Indian" and back home, I am getting frustrated. Am I alone in hating such noisy fireworks?
