The house to the south is one of my neighbors. He's a retired cop. Unlike other friends I have that are cops, he doesn't have much of a personality and he's complained about the sound of one of my diaphragm pumps and my trash pump. I didn't have to but I changed out the pump for a quieter one and I only use electric pumps now for my back ponds. I figure it's best to keep your neighbors happy as you never know when you might need them.
