Are you unable to address the offenders and ask them to stop?
FWIW, a few years back, one neighbor within hearing distance complained about hubby working on bikes late at night so now we have a strict 10PM cut off time for any motor related testing.
Perhaps you have only to ask.
No, I don't get up from the lawn chair and chase down every car with rap music and every bike that goes by. If they immediately cannot see that a barking dog is irritating, or rap music is horrible, or loud exhaust interrupts a nice Sunday get-together, then they're not going to give a damn what people who have more respect for others think.

We're home by 10pm. Sunday get-togethers are over by dark usually. No, when I lived in town, I asked nicely my neighbor to quiet his dogs. Of course he refused. So it took a $1000 fine from the police to get results, and the dog went to the country for a while. But even then all they did was get a puppy and a month later the puppy was doing what the first dog was doing. About that time I moved. These people have no respect for others and can't see that maybe the rest of us like different things than they do.
BTW, my fourth hate is diesel truck owners who purposely turn up the fuel to do blackouts. I say take all four of them and put them in one spot so they can live together, owners of barking dogs, rap music lovers, bikers, and dieselers. lol

What a$$holes! Testing loud pipe motors through the night!
