    I had a 50m range set up at my old place and plenty of neighbors nearby.
    closest would have been 500m, another at that range and a couple not much further.

    I shot my ar at least once a week, usually two or three times a week during the day.
    suppressed usually.
    also a .45acp carbine got thousands through it.

    I called the neighbors if I was planning to shoot loud centerfire stuff (id call the day before)

    the way I see it is that my loud hobby was very loud, but very short. (a shoot usually took ten or twenty minutes)

    some of the neighbors fired up a tractor or a chainsaw etc for 8 hours, sometimes all day and all week.
    I dont mind what the noise is during the day, so long as its not intentionally inconsiderate.

    We share the place, kinda like a timeshare.... some of us choose to make some noise sometimes, some choose to not.
    My hobby is loud, but very brief.

    I only had one neighbor who was a shitty karen. the rest appreciated my efforts to notify them and also that I purchased a couple thousand bucks worth of suppressors for their benefit.
