If you can not get a county or state official to come and sit on your porch and listen for themselves then you may have to spend a little bit of money to prove the problem.  You ma want to hire an expert to do it for you.  Someone who can come in with equipment and record the noise and the decibel level then check your local ordinances as to same and issue you a report that indicates that they are violating the ordinance (or maybe not violating the ordinance).  If they are not violating it then you may have to consider some sound absorbing possibilities so that the noise bounces off your property or is absorbed by the material used.  Trees are natural sound barriers.  But we have all seen those structures erected on the side of highways that do the same for residents on the other side of the road.  Good luck.
