ahh best way to silence your immediate neighbors about noise is a good
designed quiet system and enough extra power to run a extension cord
for them too

LOL. Done that, too.

just because so few think of this........

any chance your sump could drain underground to a low spot like curb
and daylight?

even if the sump system backup drain is only a overflow it can prevent
a flooded basement.

best part is gravity always works

Oh absolutely I agree. Drain by gravity to daylight if at all possible.

I'd add - address as many of the drainage issues as possible from the outside.
Even if it isn't a total fix (around here every basement is a hole in clay
begging water to find it..), it greatly alleviates the risk by increasing the
time to overflow.
