just wanted to chime in with my experiences in a similar situation. some friends and i were playing together and had a bylaw officer stop by and tell us to stfu.
actually he was a pretty sweet guy, and he explained that the issue is entirely in your neighbour's court. any noise that is disturbing to them is too much.
as others have said, talk to the neighbour. explain that you didn't think 5pm in the garage would be a problem but that you are taking steps to reduce the volume and want to know if any other time would be OK with both parties. maybe agree on a half hour time limit. from having a roommate that was a drummer, not knowing when they're going to stop is the worst of it.
