Narrative:
I was conducting a private pilot check ride. I pulled the power on the applicant and let us get low enough before I asked for a go around that apparently either a local resident filed a complaint with approach or approach got a low-altitude alert based on our ads-B. I continued the descent lower than normal as the applicant was having a difficult time setting up for his landing. By the time I asked for a go-around we apparently either set of an alarm or alarmed someone on the ground. I did not note the altitude as I was focused on the applicant's effort to get into a good position to land.I will; in the future; break off the maneuver at least 5600 ft. AGL unless we are orbiting; or approaching; an airfield.
