Even if you don't see them a lot, it means a lot for my well being to just walk outside, see them and go "oh hey! how's it going!" with a smile and good feelings, rather than a darker or non existent transaction. Our society is getting cold enough between strangers, it's at least nice to like your neighbours.

I'm with you on this. I've got a great relationship with both my current neighbors. I helped build both sides of my fence with them, and while we were kinda shooting the shirt doing it, we joked about the bad neighbors thing, and I told them specifically that I'm totally open to conversation if they do find something off in the future that they wanted to talk to me about. We've kept a real cordial relationship since the beginning.
Only incident I can even think of was the one time I was gaming at around midnight, and my bonus room is above my garage, while my one neighbor's master bedroom is above his, so he kind of could hear faint rumbling from me having my system too loud. Guy just texted me, I apologized, and now I'm cognizant of making sure to keep it quieter in the evenings, knowing how flimsy our houses are for noise.
I just find taking a potential solvable incident the OP is outlining to defcon 1 right away by involving bylaw when it could potentially be diffused by talking about it might not be the best way to go.
