Reminds me of my father. He's up super early, like 4 am, and to him 7 am is perfectly late enough to run the wood planer on a weekend day.

Lawns are one of the stupidest things Americans obsess about.
There is no mention of lawns in the post. Is this maybe supposed to be a response in one of the comment threads?
Ive often contemplated replacing the muffler on my rider with one designed for a passenger car
I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.
Kind of needs more context. 11 am is morning.
There’s no time of day I should be able to hear your music in my own home with all doors and windows closed.
Car or house work noise tho? I’m cool.
I can hear people have a normal conversation on the street from inside my house. The walls are thin enough to let in and out all sound, but thick enough to keep in the heat in winter.

riding lawnmower comes screaming out of the garage at its max speed of 5 mph, the driver dual wielding leaf blowers

Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.
Meanwhile, my wife keeps asking if it would be rude to mow the lawn at 7AM on a Saturday. With the electric mower.
and you said yes, of course I can only hope.
Look, if you live somewhere that the sun makes you regret existence (read: everywhere in 10 years), yard work is getting done in the morning, car work is getting done in the evening.
I have neither a yard nor a car, what do I do on a Saturday
You don't have any yardwork or car problems to deal with, so whatever the hell you want, I presume.
Except sleep without earplugs, I guess that's out.

LEAFBLOWER INTENSIFIES
Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake.

Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.
Doing the lawn after dark seems so unwholesome. Which is annoying because I could use a 25° drop in temperature.
What about flying a kite in the dark?
And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They're nearly silent!
You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.
Back in CA, there was a total , appearance and all, that'd roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he'd blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.
He was still not as divorced as 
though.
Depends on what time, for me
After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it's music and not obnoxiously loud, that's probably fine too
Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea

To be fair, doing my work around the house after worktime at 7PM weekdays is also not going to be very popular.
I'll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day
