I'm basically in a suburb. Silence the crap out of your anvil (chains magnets big stump etc.) and only work during your local noise ordinance hours. Running a gas forge as others have suggested will make your setup less of a nuisance. I don't smith every day but I have been working weekly for about two years without any complaints.

No real advice but the smoke from the coal was my main concern when I was trying to do it in my backyard. Your local laws will be what you need to look at, but sound is not going to be your main issue imo.
