Neighbours and dealing with complaints?
She says to my husband to turn the music down at 4 in the afternoon. He was in the driveway cleaning out the truck. It wasn't that loud, but to her it was. She is the town crier. Last year she complains that we left a bag of leaves at the side of our house. She lives across the street.
My husband and I are team drivers and are frequently away from home. She has grand children that are very noisy and we have never complained when we get home from a trip and just want some peace and quiet but are kept awake with the noise. Yes we know kids are kids and kids playing outside in the summer are noisy. How do we deal with her about music in our driveway that might happen once or twice a year? Is she right? No she doesn't work but her husband does.

She's got her knickers in a twist over the truck radio, right?
If your hubby is bringing out a stereo speaker from the house, that's a bit different.
The law usually allows for the sounds of normal everyday living from seven in the morning to eleven at night, children playing, ambient sounds like car traffic, music from passing vehicles, lawn mowers (or snow plows), refuse collections, renovations and people interacting.
She sounds a sensitive type.
See if you can work on good neighbor relations by offering her a coffee and a few minutes of your time.
Just listen to her. Maybe she just wants to be heard and acknowledged. Maybe if your hubby turns on a bit of the charm you and she can find a compromise.
If she's a control freak, well, go your way, get some ear plugs and pay her no mind.
You can't please everyone.
