I can still adapt to that redefinition of freedom: "My neighbour's freedom from interference when forcing their music upon me interferes with my need for sleep

  It really doesn't because your rephrasing elides the real question: "Does your neighbor have the liberty to play loud music around their neighbors" and the answer to that question in some states is "no, after a certain time." Freedom from something requires them to have power over you. Your neighbor really doesn't in the same way the government does, an invading foreign power, or, the way GNU argues it, the way corporations do with their software licensing and copyright.
