Abstract/Contents: | Discusses noise issues with gas and electric mowers, stating that "65 decibels at a distance of 50 feet has become a sort of unofficial standard for acceptably quiet blowers." Reports that many blower operators are "ignoring bans and continuing to use them, keeping throttle levels low and avoiding off hours (which all contractors should be doing anyway) to avoid antagonizing residents." |
