Cook outs and outside parties are ruined by the racket. Some of my neighbors got together and wrote a letter requesting neighbors that, if possible, try to refrain from mowing after 4PM and before 8AM.
Some people responded and said they would do their best, most people didn't say a thing, but I've noticed a marked decrease in the sound of mowers, weedwhackers, and leaf blowers in the evening. Of course there is one guy - there is always one - who wrote back saying nobody is going to tell him when to mow his gall-darn lawn and we can all go to h e l l . He happens to be the guy with the Texas flag over his house, for what that's worth.

If I lived in your area this guy with the Texas flag would be the last neighbor, I would check on if a disaster hit the neighbor. And it would not be because of the flag.
