I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

Sirens and emergency vehicle noise in songs or advertising on radio.

I'm not advocating for capital punishment, I'm just saying that if we lynch a couple of daytime pop radio hosts for siren-like noises then it will probably go away pretty quickly.

The other day I had a song come on Spotify in which a part of the beat sounded like the cars warning beep. But it was not the right speed to be door or seat belt alarm, so I figured it had to be some else like tire pressure or engine warning... Mother fucker was part of a song and kept me looking for warning lamps blinking for a good minute or so.

I want to throw in doorbells with this (but only as a misdemeanor)

I use Pluto.tv for background noise at night. Amazon is now running some 'Prime Deal Days' ads and one of them has a very prominent doorbell sound that wakes my ass up everytime.
