If you live under your parent's house, you are agreeing to live under their terms and way of life. If they like speaking loudly at 11 pm, despite your protests, then you must accept it. It would be the same way if you lived in an apartment. If you dislike the rules your landlord places on your agreement, you have the right to leave. Even if you think it is polite of them to be nice to their child and quiet down, they don't have to. The same goes for privacy and all the other issues you have with them.

You may be seeing less of your family by moving out, but you have to decide if your freedom, privacy, and way of life worth more or less than the money and work you'll have to put into getting your own place. Moving out might even be a good idea to strengthen the relationship between your family members; they might develop an appreciation for you because of your absence. Is it possible for you to share an apartment with a friend or someone else to lower the rent costs? You can always find a way to live outside if you want to.
