My neighbours are really pretty good about it.
One neighbour is an ex motorcrosser and he loves bikes. Neighbour the other side can't bring themselves to speak to me let alone moan about my exhaust.
Neighbour 2 door down. Uses the can on my bike like an alarm clock. She knows when I go to work in the morning its time for her to start shouting at her kids to get up
I've had trouble before with a previous neighbour. But we had a word and we sorted things out.
However theres some people that arent just worth bothering to argue with. Sounds like your neighbour is one of them.
