I got a complaint from my neighbor when i had the full supersprint exhaust on my ML 63 because it had set off his alarm on his lexus and it didn't go off so he couldn't start the car and go to work...
Of course i apologized and started parking outside instead. For me that was the only reasonable thing to do. Continuing to park inside and set off alarms every cold start just wasn't an option.
It's good that you take this complaint seriously and aren't flipping them off. Nasty neighbor relationships can be...agitating.

My story has evryone beat. I live in a snobby neighborhood in a snobby suburb of Chicago. I own lots of modded car, trucks, sport bikes and Harleys. The neighbors have been complaining about me and my friends Harleys for years. So about a year ago I get a letter from my home owners association claiming they are filing a formal complaint about the decible levels of my vehicles and the time of night (mid-night -3 am) that I return home at night LOL....wait it gets better. I brush off the letter and continue about my business. I then get a letter from the home owners assoc attorney stating that I am in violation of some BS code and they are going to try to force me out of my home (I own it ). I forward to my attorney and he laughs his *** off, tells me to not worry about it. A week later I get pulled over by the cops in my BS, he writes me a ticket for loud exhaust and modified exhaust. During the writing of the citation he stuck these sticks into my mufflers, but they didn't go far because although I am running LTs and cat delete I am running bone stock AMG mufflers. So I go to court and fight the ticket, I step up, plead not guilty the judge calls up the officer and instanly the officer insists I am running modified and not street legal muffler. I say your honor I own a veryvery rare high performance Mercedes, the judge asks "which model" I say CLK63 Black Series, judge says "YOU OWN A BLACK SERIES?? I say yes. Judge asks have you modified your mufflers, I say no your honor, I even have photos of my muffflers and we can walk out to the parking lot and you can see they are stock and I have a letter from my dealership stating they are original equipment mufflers. The judge loks at the cop and says why do you think they are modified, the cop says "that's the loudest mercedes I've ever heard in my life, it sounds like a Jet airplane. The judge turns to me and says case dismissed then proceeds to chew the cops *** for 5 minutes about wasting the tax payers money, wasting the courts time and the judges time. It was friggin hilarious.
The best part was I never lied, they only asked about my mufflers and they are stock. Thank god the judge was a car guy, what are the odds? I have not heard from my home owners assoc since LOL.

sounds like it was a set up since they knew they couldnt throw you out of your own home, they figured they try to get you a hefty fine and the judge would make you remove them knowing that you'd go to court to fight it.
