Agreed, but I'm comparing them to the other stuff that is always going on. During the week you can always hear: roofing nailguns, wood chipper, backup beeper, & someone playing music.
That depends on where you’re at. I live in a neighborhood with 2-5 acre lots. I can’t hear any of those things unless my immediate neighbors are doing them, which they rarely are.
I can hear leaf blowers constantly though because you can hear them in a quarter mile radius.
Also local ordinances in most places ban loud noises without a permit. But lawn maintenance equipment is a specific exception.
