In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair

ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime. 

The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas. 

The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

I'm not convinced I could mow a lawn under 60dB,

i used to work at a customer service call centre, we had a rule against making outbound calls before 9am

10am is my personal cut off. I won't mow the lawn or do anything loud until after then. My kids on the other hand are the wildcard.

My neighbor was practicing with a trumpet at 1 am last night.

I have a rule that if my noise is a problem for someone they will surely come, knock on the door, let me know and I will stop it immediately.

It hasn’t happened yet so I assume no one is inconvenienced.

Actually I extend this to all areas of life. I believe that if something I do is a problem for someone, they will tell me. It’s much more sane than second guessing if my guitar session gets through the walls or not and checking the thickness in the architecture plan and calculating decibels.

I go through my life trying to be quiet so as not to disturb others.

Neighbor cuts their postage stamp lawn with a loud lawn mower for 30 minutes. When they finish the next neighbor thinks to themself, 'I should cut my lawn', and starts a loud mower. When they finish the next neighbor starts. ALL Saturday. One after the other! Can't you all just do it at the same time! Why can't you use a push mower on a lawn that is smaller than a car parking spot! Why does it take you 30minutes, of using loud power tools, to cut a lawn the size of a car parking spot!!!

Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.

Doing the lawn after dark seems so unwholesome. Which is annoying because I could use a 25° drop in temperature.

What about flying a kite in the dark?

And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They're nearly silent!

You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.

Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.
