I was just researching the noise ordinances around here, because there's a pile driver across the street from my office building and it's really really loud. Not sure what the rules are like where you are, but they are so detailed here, they are almost unenforceable. You have to have a certified person using certified equipment, standing at a legally defined location measuring the sound levels in a very specific way. And a lot of activities are exempt from noise regulations. For example, pile drivers.

What I'm trying to say is that you may piss off the neighbors, but getting into legal trouble is probably a lot harder than you might imagine.
