Working from home I can report that leaf blowers ruin my day pretty quickly. Some days it will be 4 hours of lawn equipment running.
- TylerE 2y agoI solve that the blunt force way. Heavy duty over the ear hearing protection, like shooters eeesr at a gym range. I find it works better than noise canceling. If things are really intolerably bad you can double up with foam earplugs under.
- bigiain 2y agoThat's my "secret weapon" when flying. Foam earplugs inside noise cancelling headphones. Even on short 1hr flights, it's amazing how much less stressed and more relaxed I find myself after disembarking. I can get 8 or more hours sleep on a 14 hour flight that way.
- xcv123 2y agoBose noise cancelling headphones. Just leave them switched on without music playing. It will actively reduce the noise level.
- bschwindHN 2y agoWe could, as a society, ban the use of gas powered leaf blowers.
- hollerith 2y agoCalifornia has already banned the sale, but not the use of a gas-powered engines with under 25 horsepower.
- aaronblohowiak 2y agoMany municipalities near here have restrictions on days of use. It’s by neighborhood so you have only one really bad day a week but lawn services can still operate around the week.
