Around here revving your engine means you want to race.
The last time I got in trouble for being too loud was messing around with my Marshall 4x12 cabinet with a 200W tube head in my old apartment. That thing was really loud, but even with it turned down it still carried too far.
I used to do woodworking in my kitchen in that place, too, but nobody ever complained. I would run a router with a shop vac hooked up with the workpiece clamped to the kitchen counter.
