Was the out-house there when you bought the house? If so, you will have a much harder time with doing anything. If it was not, you may have a claim for nuisance. You may be able to file a small claims case to enjoin (stop) the noise.

If even if the problem predated your purchase of the house, there are some authorities that a nuisance can be abated.

You might try talking to the landowner and see if they can get the people to be more respectful.

Your remedy sounds like a suit for nuisance, if there are actually regular and serious breaches of your 'quiet enjoyment' of your property. If you are serious about taking legal action and hiring counsel to help, to attempt resolution before litigation or to file suit if appropriate, feel free to contact me.
