Singing might be good for yourself, but is very nasty for those who live around you and don't want to listen...
Please make sure to sing/play instruments from within an insulated location!

Don’t like it? Deal with it.
The key to peaceful coexistence is restricting yourself to accommodate others. Like singing? Go take a walk in the woods (or along a busy road, I personally do this).
See, this works both ways. Singing is loud, playing instruments is loud. Pets and babies can be loud. People can have guests over and throw parties, and those can get loud too. Should everyone forego those activities, or do them in an "insulated location" to accommodate everyone? I don't think so.
It goes both ways, indeed. Good luck if you're ever my neighbor, you just might have to move;)
PS are you actually comparing singing to having children?
Occasionally I hear bands and/or people practicing on amplified instruments, drums, or brass, and I can't imagine how anyone on the same block can stand it.
Though apparently people across SF were mostly OK with hearing Green Day play in Golden Gate Park.
But all of these sound annoyances pale when compared to the horrible scourge of loud videos played on smartphones.
For me it's always a godsend to find a quiet place, if the source of noise (no matter how objectively beautiful) is not under my control I can get sleep deprived within days. Yes I have earplugs and noise isolation cans but they cause ear issues long term.
