With only a few hens and a good building it should be very easy to reduce the egg song noise. Keep the hens inside in the morning. When I was a kid we had over 100 laying hens (on a medium size farm in farm country). The coop was less than 100 feet from the house and we rarely heard the chickens being noisy. The doors were kept shut (screened windows allowed air circulation) until about 10 am then the chickens were let out into their pen. We sold eggs as a side business and it was very important that the eggs were laid in the coop and not outside in the pen.
Forgot to mention the buildings and shrubbery between the coop and our house. Having plants and/or walls between the coop and the neighbors will keep a lot of sound from traveling.
