I'm going to take the old couples side on this one because nobody else seems to be getting something. All old people have a significant amount of hearing loss, so if they are bothered by the noise you are being too loud. Also you shouldn't be using loud powertools in a residential area weekly... period, end of story. Also I noticed that she mentioned in one of here comments about a radio. You aren't playing a raido outside are you? Because again, that is unexcusable as nobody wants to hear what you a listening to.
I am very much a supporter of quiet. And btw noise is not people talking, children playing or normal day-to-day stuff. Noise is radio's blairing, loud power tools (routers, belt, sanders, grinders) constantly running or idiots who think it's cute to own a classic car or chopper without a muffler.
I hate to tell you this, but bottom line if old people complain that you are being too loud, you ARE being too loud. By starting this thread, it sounds to me that deep down, you are already aware of it and you needed fellow enthuasists to pat you on the back to make the guilt go away. My suggestion to you would be to move to a location with a larger piece of property, so you can work on your hobbies without disturbing anyone. Oh, and ditch the radio... no excuse for that anywhere.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you're just trying to get into an argument. I don't know who's going to support your 'be quiet all the time' position, as I've never heard of anything so ridiculous.

Howard, almost all residential locales have what are called "noise ordinances". These are in place to protect the rights of not only those who have to hear it, but also those who wish to exercise the right to do what they want (or need to) on their own property. If an individual is operating within the law, then he is perfectly within his rights to do so...period, end-of-story.
People make noise on many levels. Shouting, vacuuming, weed-eating, mowing, kids playing, loud talking and laughing, music, and the list goes on. Every individual will create this noise at varying levels and frequency, but it sounds like you want to dictate what people do and when on their own property, outside of the law. Not gonna fly, I'm afraid. The old folks have every bit as much right / responsibility to move, stay inside, soundproof, etc.. as those around them.

What you are describing is known, in my part of the world, as a retirement home. This is free from normal street noise and is an ideal place for old folks to relax and enjoy the autumn years of their lives.
So you never sit in your own garden and enjoy listening to the radio? You consider that there is no place for such outrageous activity in a civilized society?
I don't know what kind of bubble you are living in, but it certainly isn't anything close to my reality!
