A lot of it has to do with perception. If your car makes some exhaust noise, people tend to think the car is going faster than it is. A neighbor 2 blocks away yelled at me once and I quickly looked down at my speedometer. The needle was midway between 25 and 30, say 28 in a 25 mph zone. I was 55 years old at the time, but I was in my 1991 9000T with a 3 inch JT exhaust, so I guess it "sounded fast".
On the other hand, you would feel pretty bad if you ran over a kid, even if you were going 20.
To answer your original question, the police will not come to your door to yell at you based on one neighbor's complaint. However, if there are enough complaints, they will stop by with a radar gun and establish if you are "too fast" or not.
