LOL - My main house is out in the country and my nearest neighbor is 100 yards away........and he is a shooter too. If I were to fire a shot off from my noisiest gun at 2am in the morning - the most I could expect is a text from him reading "Did you get em?". I love country life.

Definitely the cold starts. Maybe even health and safety complaints from the smells of catless exhaust. Now that I own a pressure washer, that's probably going to come into play at some point.

Plot twist : it's my wife that will most likely be doing the reporting

Which silencer do you have?
Subsonics are quiet.

I have Surefire, Sig, Q, and SilencerCo cans.

Somehow the baffles fell out of my Vance&Hines on the scooter. Same hour during the summer months, my family hates me. Sorry, not sorry you were playing video games until a few hours ago, but SOMEBODY has to keep the electricity coming into the building.

Oh, and in my predominately Hispanic neighborhood, they probably don't enjoy the country I play when outside in the yard. . .

It would definitely be for cranking up my Edward Van Halen 5150 EL34 amp and letting 'er rip on my EVH Wolfgang.

That thing will blow out your eardrums and shake your heart into a coma.

Agreed (and didn’t mean to imply I disagreed).

My master blaster air dryer. I had to start wearing earmuffs when using it. The neighbor across the street knows I'm into detailing my cars. One day while I was mater blasting he comes over and tell me when he heard that he thought I had finally done it... I had finally installed one of those commercial car washes in my garage.

The one time that I ever went off on someone for making noise was when I was staying on the ground floor of a motel in the plains 20 years ago. At 4:30 AM in the dark, the dude jacked up his car right outside my motel room window and did a 4-wheel tire change...with a 1/2" air impact gun! I went out to his parking space, and said rather sternly to his face that he could have had the courtesy of waiting until 6:00 AM before changing his tires so that everyone that he woke up could at least go to the motel's free breakfast buffet.

If I was a nice guy, I would have told him (Pennsylvania plates) that he forgot to set his watch back an hour when he got into town...so that he wasn't standing in grid at 6:30 AM wondering why nobody was there yet.....

I bought the house next door to me about a year ago and have spent a lot of time and money on things to cut noise for both the future renters and my benefit (remodel was to the point that only the exterior shell was left). Bought the house partly so I can say something to whoever lives there if they irritate me and he can say less about me as I will be the landlord (I don't think I cause many problems).

Houses are about 8 feet apart.

Anything called "master blaster" is a winner.

Two forms of excessive noise that emanate from my domicile. One, loud moans/other forms of verbal carnal approval. Two, loud music coming from the garage whilst working on the car. All my neighbors are elderly, so I'm hoping they can't even hear. If they can, I'm sure wives disapprove and the husbands are secretly cheering me on.

I'd say my little Jack Russell, Woody.....but we were out for a walk on the lake (were in Canada it's frozen) and I had the outdoor speakers going about 2/3 volume on my deck....we were about 50 yards from shore and I could hear Boston playing really nicely.

It would probably be either me playing my guitar or just music in general too loud/late

Haha, only in America lol. If you did the same in Australia you would have a heavily armed police/military unit smashing in your front door before the barrel was cold.

We had a small snow storm that dropped about 2" of snow. They hadn't plowed my neighborhood last night so decided to take my little Honda 400ex out for a rip through a couple of the cul-de-sacs. The exhaust isn't stock, and it was about 9:30pm.
