I actually never need to take out the trash. I use the NanoCan Touchless Trash Can in every house. It disintegrates rubbish, and so never needs emptying. On top of that, it pays you for using it. If a Sim puts rubbish into it, the household gets 10 Simoleons. If you drag and drop rubbish or dishes into it yourself, they get 10 per member of the household. So, with a household of 8 Sims, every time you bin something you get paid 80 Simoleons and the bin never fills up or breaks. I'm surprised everyone doesn't use it. Then again, some may not know what it actually does. As far as the noise issues, it's not coincidence. The more they like you, the more tolerant and considerate they are toward you, sometimes even asking to participate in your noisemaking.
