K1VR:  Begin by determining how much, if any, noise is generated on your
property. Send everyone out for pizza at night and shut down one
household AC circuit at a time. This includes the barn, garage, outdoor
light, electric fence, etc. If throwing one of those switches affects
your noise level, determine what it was that you turned off.

The usual suspects are:  electric fences, flourescent lighting, rheostat
controls of incandescent lighting, electric blankets, waterbed heaters,
and so forth.

Good luck! -- Fred K1VR
