Yes, this is real
Schrodinger bike noise, it’s simultaneously too quiet and too loud until observed by a carbrain.
Found an article about that:

pelotons of as many as 20 or 30 “not uncommon"
OK I can see how that could be a bit loud early in the morning, but:
one of Perth’s richest suburbs
ever heard of double glazing? 😅

I checked it on Google Maps.
The streets in question are running in parallel to the waterfront, with the houses being build to have direct access to the water.
So it boils down to people building their houses in a beautiful area just to later complain that other people are also drawn to that area (because that is where you will go for recreation).Reminds me of examples from my home country of people moving to the tiny traditional rural villages because they are so quaint, and then making court appeals because the church towers are chiming regularly (as they have done for the previous 500 years) or that the farmers fertilize the fields behind their house using liquid manure twice a year.
populations increasing in those places also ruins their quaintness, since no one moving into a rural village does so without a car nor can they tolerate even the slightest fucking inconvenience like horses on the road and such.
So this is not about the bike making noise this is about bikers shouting back and forth to each other. On Cape cod in the USA there’s a bike trail that’s very popular with the tourists but they don’t understand that it basically goes through people’s backyards and I’ll just shout back and forth no matter what time of day it is
