If you can legally have your ducks I would have to cut my ties with them and put up a privacy fence so that she cannot see you and you won't have to listen to her. We have one and we get along fine with our neighbors but my one duck is so loud and I think it helps with the noise. I can't understand how she can be babysitting dogs all day and being able to sleep. Your poor Custard was just an outlet for her to have an excuse to complain. Menopause is no excuse to be unreasonable. Does she expect you to mow your grass at night too so she can sleep? She needs to re-evaluate herself and pick on someone her own size, not Custard.
