I am late joining this post, but I totally understand what you are going through, we had chickens and they went passed our fence line and our neighbors freaked out. They didn't bother calling us to tell us that they didn't like them. So instead they called the cops and they wanted us to pay 100.00 for every chicken that entered their yard, I told them to **** off. Now we are not allowed to have chickens but they didn't say anything about peafowl and I am so glad peacocks are so noisy and can be herd from miles away. I am waiting for the cops to show up for a noise complaint next. Try rabbits, I may have what you do, I also have to have a hobby. Rabbits are real fun and your neighbors will never find out about them they are very easy to hide, they don't make any noise execpt a thump on their cage. Plus they have cute little babies so that will keep you occupied.
