If your neighbor has a unit outside of your bedroom window you will need to find a place to sleep in the other side of the home. If you village has natural gas you can connect to that, otherwise gasoline will be the fuel. Hopefully the restrictions will not allow propane tanks. Perhaps someone can clarify that. All units require maintenance runs, units i am familiar with are weekly. Hopefully your neighbor will program to run mid day during the week as opposed to evening.

Life is full of challenges, but this is not seriously a real one. If sleep is a problem, get some ear plugs. If noise is still too much for you, then maybe you should move somewhere that does not have you living so close to other homes. A/C units can be noisy, even if you do not have a "window" near or on the side of your neighbor's home. A backup generator would hardly be used for anything other than an emergency, so sleep would hardly be a factor. Surely yard workers are more noisy than a generator being tested once a month. Although, I do not know how long they test generators and when they would. I would assume they test them in the daylight, but could be wrong.
Some folks worry too much.
