I think I take complaints more seriously when I don’t hear much emotion in the speaker’s voice. If someone sounds whiny, or angry, or seems to be pushing some victim narrative, I take the actual complaint less seriously. I think you can also hear the difference between a novel complaint and an often repeated one. If you want to be taken seriously, don’t ham it up and don’t complain all the time.
