My car is louder than most and my neighbors tell me it rattles the pictures on the walls in their house but, fortunately, they think it's cool. Also, when I back out of the garage I immediately drive to the end of the driveway at the street to get away from the house and do my prep/warm up there. I also drive through the neighborhood at 25 mph and just above idle RPM. So, I've never had any complaints. One guy toward the other end of the neighborhood recognized me when we were on a walk and asked me if I'm the guy with the cobra. When I said yes, he said "nice rumble". Bottom line, if you're respectful and keep it as quiet as possible, people notice that and don't mind. It's for such a short duration it shouldn't be a problem anyway. With all that, if someone still complains, they're an a**hole.
