I warm mine up for about 2-3 minutes in the winter (wait for the bars to start showing up). I don't rev the engine at all except with the first turn over. Our living room window shakes with the sound of the exhaust. If I rev it the neighbours car alarm goes off for a second or two..., Still I have never had a complaint, except from my wife when the windows are rattling..., Her I can deal with.

might sound weird, but try backing your car into your garage and see if that helps.
such a simple solution!

My neighbors don't complain about my invidia exhaust and i used to set off their car alarms (by accident most of the time) when leaving in the morning.

Then again, my neighbors also would have parties on thursday, friday, and saturday nights and blast their music until 3-4 in the morning (hence the few times i intentionally set off their alarms in the morning) so they probably figure they should just stay quiet .
