I am a 107 pilot and have flown over homes, but I always advise the homeowner to notify their immediate neighbors of what we plan to do and why. This always avoids the interruption that you experienced.
While there is nothing illegal about flying over a home in a neighborhood given that you are not in a restricted airspace, people do not understand how close to someone you need to be to spy on someone. Then there is the sound that it makes that can disturb their peace (although people rarely complain about motorcycles). Many cannot appreciate how stable these are in flight and see these as a safety risk.
My advice is to always be proactive in warning people.
