	Quietest EMI or audio?

I'm asking about audio annoyances. Most everyone around is on Cable or
Dish, so RF doesn't worry me too greatly, but it's a REALLY quiet
neighborhood. People don't even work on their cars, unless it's in a
closed garage. My last name is Clampett!!! :o)

It's not a gated community, just a up-scale older area (not many kids).

I'm worried about generating COPIOUS amounts of noise during the
evening, as I'll have to run outdoors. I've basically planned on having
the gap (Static or RSG) in a lexan enclosure to help. 

Are their any draw backs other than a need for cooling to enclose a
gap?? Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? I really enjoy the
seething, hissing, snarl of HV arcs. I could watch a J ladder for hours,
but I don't think some of my neighbors would agree, so I'm trying to
build with this in mind!

Any input is greatly appreciated.
