@Denna Everything that @babsbag said. Generally the noise ordinance applies to certain hours and a certain decibel.
Just like construction workers can work all day and be noisy they do have times they may operate in certain areas. Your dog is in at night so this shouldn't be an issue.
Your neighbor may be thankful in the end... all that traffic and for the product... um you really don't know what kind of element is lurking around.
I agree with Babs.
Looking at the individual dog is what is most important. A needy LGD that is super bonded with by it's humans may be too needy and not do well in staying with livestock.
Stable solid LGD's that are not needy will bond strongly with both and there will be no conflict of interest.
Relationship with a LGD is more about respect and partnering. They are partners. Understand that and respect that and you will have a great LGD. Loyal on both fronts.

But if you want a complete guardian dog, it needs to not have as strong of a relationship with humans, and a strong relationship with your goats.
I disagree. My LGDs have a very strong relationship with me, they just don't cry and whine to leave the field.
