What kind of neighbors you have? The car can't be that loud at idle....unless it's a race car.
Exhausts are pretty loud when the engine's cold. The idle gets quiter after a few minutes of driving.

Get an engine block heater so you don't have to go thru the cold idle phase.

Keep your garage closed and line it with Auralex.

Do you rev the engine after you start it or just get in and turn the key and press the starter button without touching the throttle?
