Out of all of the players who know how to modify client-side graphics (Which is a lot more than you think it is), literally no-one has thought "Hey, I don't like the look of this housing item. I'm going to make a quick little mod for myself to remove it and then share that with other players."

There are two to remove SFX from loud housing items. That's it. People really don't care about what other players are doing.
If they did, there would be a mod to remove the Gingerbread House from the game.
Mods are against ToS, and I'm not going to support that. The right thing to do is bring the issue forward for Square Enix to see it, offer a suggestion that either fixes it or provides the option for it to be ignored or toggled on/off, get a tally of how many are in favor of it being addressed and how many are not in favor of it, and if there's enough support, then implement it. And there's others who've already either said they are not opposed to the idea or are in full favor of it being added as an option, which means there are those who do care. Is it a minor annoyance for most? Possibly. That's really going to be subjective and vary from player to player. There's no rush either since it's optional gameplay.
