I'm trying to work out of my house and the leaf blower is so damn loud INSIDE the house with the windows closed It's hard to have a phone call. I can't imagine how loud it is outside. These landscape guys are going to all be deaf.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it takes 18 months and a tax stamp to get a suppressor for my leaf blower.

My leaf blower is equally loud whether I use it inside or outside. Usually use it outside though, so that I don't smoke up the house

It's the full backpack ones the workers use. I admit it's quite the pain in the ass when it takes an hour or so around here for them to do a yard of leaves. But it's better than listening to women talk about inane things in an office setting.

I live in San Diego so I guess whatever was done isn't being done here. It's still loud.

Rake is pretty quiet, but slow and actually requires some level of physical fitness.

There is your problem, tell them to run the leaf blower outside. It won't be as loud to you and they will probably find more leaves to blow.

I just mow my leaves so they can return to the earth as compost.

They banned small engine lawn care tools effective 2024. Current lawn care tools can be used after the ban on sale.

great post

something that drives me crazy for years.

nothing like being at a nice resort and being blasted by leaf blowers all day long.

as if they can't hand the workers an actual rake

In a bow to Frugal Moms/Dads/ Cheapskate grandpas, we use the reverse air flow on a Shop Vac to blow leaves. It is not quiet, but it is cheaper than buying a largely unnecessary device.

My eGo blower is much quieter than my old Echo. And more powerful as well.
