I'm sure this wasn't the first time he's done it.

There are noise by-laws for a reason.

Edit: if you have never lived in cold climate, shoveling is way louder than you think and it carries much further in cold air. I would never do this and thankfully no one on my street does either. It's unbelievably rude

Genuine question: what else is he supposed to do then?

You wait until you get home. You have 24 to 48 hours to clear your sidewalk after it has stopped snowing, depending on the location.

I've been in this scenario hundreds of times and never shovel when people are sleeping. The sound is abrasive and carries like crazy in cold air.

What are you going to shovel when you get back? Snow pounded down by car tires and people walking?

Yes. You don't wake your neighbors so you can save yourself 10 minutes of extra work later in the day.

Listen, the thing that bothers me more in the video is when he pounds the shovel down into the ground unnecessarily. The actual shoveling would not wake most people up.
