So just did some more research on the topic, and came across a great South African Law opinionated article.
Good Reading for those interested.

Some key points that stand out in general from both this article and my text book is that:
1) “a piece of land must be used in such a way that another person is not prejudiced or burdened by its use”
thus it must be a subjective matter. I see how playing after 12 can cause an issue, as the court will look at that as a factor, cause if you causing your neighbors to become insomniac then yes you are "prejudicing" them.
2) "if the plaintiff is someone who is sensitive and is affected particularly by an activity that would not unduly disturb other, then the plaintiff cannot be considered to be an ordinary person" in which case any action raised cannot succeed.
3) "if the complaint is based on only a trivial inconvenience, then it is unlikely to be reasonable".
so does this mean that there must be some real valid personal suffering on their behalf?
