Great idea on the privacy screen-and it looks nice too!
Got my first goats and now a complaining neighbor

With the addition of the screen, I'd say you've gone above and beyond. Things will settle down once the goats get accustomed. They are very sensitive to changes and anything out of their ordinary can make them very vocal.
If you wish to train them I would suggest that you don't do random visits as this will make them think that any time they see you, they should scream for you to come see them. Get a schedule established and stick to it. This way they will come to understand that if you go out in your back yard, it does NOT automatically mean they are getting treats and snacks. This will create an obvious fuss for a few weeks till they learn, but will make life long term much more sensible.
Good luck with the neighbors moving fwd. Seems they don't like change either and squawk about it just like goats or any other animal.
