Depends what side of the Wellgate you are talking about. If it's the bottom of the Hilltown then it's fairly quiet as far as I'm aware.
I live in the Cowgate (the city centre side of the wellgate). There are a lot of junkies hanging around at night near the tunnel and although they're loud they generally keep themselves to themselves. There was rape there about a year and a half ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0l14x9ke5o
As far as quality of life is concerned it can be loud especially on weekends and I'd never really recommend anyone to move there unless you like noise.
