To ask neighbour to stop shouting?

I don't think I am but here goes...
New neighbours moved in a few weeks ago, about 4 doors down and have got lots of cats. Literally every night we hear the lady shouting for her cats from her front door, REALLY loudly. The bedrooms in our house are 2 floors up so we are quite far away from her when she's at her door. Other neighbours have also noticed this and are annoyed about it.
To be fair I haven't said anything so far because each night we'd had our windows open so it's understandable that we'd hear more noise from outside. Tonight is totally different - it's raining hard and really cold so all windows are definitely closed! DSS has just come downstairs having been in bed for 1.5 hours already, really upset as he can hear her shouting. He has even quoted the exact names of a few of the cats and they are quite difficult to pronounce so he must have heard them a fair few times.
From past experience I know that she'll keep going every 10-15 mins or so until the cats are back in, it's been up until midnight before. She's really annoying me now. WIBU to go round and ask her please to either stop or call more quietly? I feel bad that if she doesn't call then her cats may not come in and it is horrible weather out there. But the volume is absolutely unbelievable to be so clear and audible through the closed window and over the noise of the rain...

I think cats are more active at night so more likely to get into trouble.

My cat does mew to get in but I'm often busy with the kids in the evening getting them bathed and ready for bed so don't always hear him. He sometimes hangs out near by and waits for me to come downstairs.

quiet that's definitely the right way to go but the only issue is that she'd know it was me because I've already spoken to them about it.
There is a further development...I took dd out this morning and came back home to an unexpected (but very small) parcel on the dining table. I immediately pounced on it but dh stopped me...it's got crazy cat lady's address on it and is addressed to one of the cats Hmm
It's small enough to fit through a letterbox but dh was asked to sign for it as they weren't in and apparently it needs a signature as it's valuable. Mad cat lady obviously has a network of mad cat friends who send presents to each others cats. Ffs...
Plus the fact that dh has signed for the parcel means that one of us has to go round there later, grrr!
