It sounds like you’re starting a story.
“For the past few years, it had been driving my neighbor, Roger, crazy.” sets up a sense of ongoing tension—something persistent and probably small but irritating enough to build over time.
If you want to continue it, here are a few possible directions depending on the tone you’re going for:
Mysterious tone:
For the past few years, it had been driving my neighbor, Roger, crazy—the faint humming sound that only seemed to appear at night, always just below the threshold of hearing.
Humorous tone:
For the past few years, it had been driving my neighbor, Roger, crazy—my habit of testing leaf blowers at 6 a.m. on Saturdays.
Suspense/thriller tone:
For the past few years, it had been driving my neighbor, Roger, crazy—the locked shed at the edge of my yard that I swore contained nothing at all.
If you tell me the direction you want, I can help you build the scene further.
