it's annoying yes, but what was your "noise"? was it the middle school band as you alluded to? some other kind of rowdy behavior (you know, "grown ups who act worse than children" )? was it a screamer in the adjacent room ?. if the former of the 2 or something similar, then you could complain to the front desk (and perhaps write corporate after you return home) but if the latter, well there pretty much isn't anything you can do (short of knocking on the door and asking for them to either be a bit more quiet or if you could join them ).

now as to "quiet hotels", i would go with a twist of GK1998's recommendation but instead of trying a different business t/a, have your business t/a do some research with the hotels as to if they have a "quiet policy". don't know if it will do any good, but it can't hurt.
