what is typically the most important aspect of resolving a noise complaint considering people have to sleep and work varying hours?

Noise complaints fall under the nuisance ordinances set by your city. Loud and unreasonable noise that "causes a breach of the peace" is citable.
As far as fireworks, the issue there is that they're explosive and can cause injury. The noise takes a backseat to citizen safety.

In my area the city council puts out the acceptable day/time to use fireworks. Before or after that you get them confiscated and a 150 dollar fine.

Our department does have a passive approach to fireworks, and only respond if a complaint is received or we observe unsupervised children.
Most people know most fireworks are illegal, and respect the fact I'm only responding because a complaint was received.
This year will be worse, because the 4th is on the weekend, so most don't have to work Sunday. There will always be a few people that will not accept the working hours argument.
