   I have seen this situation before from a friend and I would suggest you contact the business and have them install a sound wall around the noisy fan. You can view similar project on this websites case history: http://enoisecontrol.com/sound_barrier_wall.html

   Kinda depends on the “noise”

   If its a squeeking or squeeling then they need to change their belts and tensioners and look at lubrication

   If it is a roaring sound then thats just the fan doing its work. They could be maxing it out and could put a variable speed control ($$) on it to slow it slightly, would reduce noise

   They could re-do the exit/ent of the fan and duct it away from residences (like straight up or back onto their property)

   If its a vibration or banging the fan is moving around, they need to re-secure it

   Lastly they could buy a brand new motor and blade, they make some really quiet ones now

   if it is bothering you, not them, why dont you offer to pay for the expense of changing it?
