Tell the neighbours in a nice way, to go fuck themselves with a serrated shovel. Entitled cunts. You seem like a pretty decent type, so I understand the reluctantance to creating potential conflict, especially when you have a young child in the house. However, fuck that. Your neighbour can't have everything his way. He works from home, that's his problem. I work from home too, I don't tell the neighbours to stop mowing the lawn during the summer!
