Unfortunately, when guests are getting sleep disturbed like this, the chances of getting the hotel to provide a material refund for the wrecked rest or any other goodwill/compensation gesture seems less likely (and less generous) nowadays than it used to be.
There is this, but it is also a form of health and safety checks (depending on where you are). There are a few scenarios that this covers (mainly because there are many moving parts). In some cases this can be mitigated with a few smart techs (although there are concerns in regards to that as well) but they really should implement stuff like "service needed" signs instead of just DND signs.
