MarkD,
There is reasonable and unreasonable... An operation I was involved in several years ago received repeated multiple complaints about excessive night time noise. On several nights, I measured the noise level at one of the most persistent complainants front gate and the highest noise level I got was ~35 dBA.
There are daytime and nighttime noise standards established for urban and for rural areas in Hawaii. If noise levels exceed those levels, then the presumption is that those are excessive levels. The converse is equally true. That's why they are called standards...
