I think you'd struggle with a noise complaint on that basis.
f/w really isn't a good alternative. Visibility is so much poorer unless you're in an Optica it just won't work, flying at 200' downwind in half a gale isn't safe f/w territory. Grubbing over hill and dale in 1500m vis (ahem, at least!) and drizzle is most cetainly not.
