My 2kva coil is VERY loud to the people within 10 feet, and my parents say 
they heard it a few blocks away.  They said it sounds like a waterfall off 
in the distance.  The 5 foot arcs are loud!  MY neighbors have not 
complained sine i only run it till about 9:00, and 9:30 at the latest.  How 
much power are you using?
