Thank you so much for this extremely helpful and applicable link, Winni83, as well as your suggestions on how to proceed.
I very much appreciate your advice!
Other neighbors are indeed also very adversely affected by the noise level.

Since this is a State criminal statute you avoid the issues with the Town Ordinance. If I had this issue I would have a form prepared addressed to the offender stating the date, time, place and nature of the conduct and a request to immediately cease, perhaps pointing out that if the conduct continues, then the conduct becomes a misdemeanor rather than just a violation. See Section VI. Perhaps also give them a copy of the Statute.
