Your tree looks to be a Sorbus spp. perhaps a whitebeam. If the house and nearby buildings predate the tree there is no risk of heave. Your tree does have the potential to cause subsidence, but that's not to say that it will. I'd probably fell it and plant something smaller further away from the property.

I have some drummer mates. Building a stud wall which has a gap between itself and the main walls is a good shout. You might cover the main walls with sound dampening materials, which then may allow the plasterboard, or milled timber, on the stud walls to create some acoustics. Adding Kingspan or similar to the stud walls might also help if sound dampening material isn't viable. The main thing seems to be the gap between main walls and stud walls. Apparently.

Motion sensors are a good shout, they are discreet and fairly accurate. What you do with the knowledge that someone is stealing your stuff is up to you.
