I hope there are no other voice overists living in my neighborhood. I'm skipping the leaf blower but hauling out the wood chipper/leaf shredder. It's way louder!

What I notice is that it takes just as long to leaf-blow a yard full of leaves as it does to rake them! Well, they're sticky, moist Oregon leaves.... but still!
Get a little excersize and give us all a break.

| Funny you should mention leaf blowers as the idiot behind me is right now out blowing his leaves around in a circle. HE'S wearing hearing protection but it doesn't do a thing for the rest of us. |

In my area it's actually worse in the summer when mowers, trimmers and blowers combine. Now it's just leaves to move around.
I also have a problem with low flying aircraft.
They have re-configured the flight pattern to ease congestion at the NY area airports.
You couldn't tell by all the delays that persist at Newark, JFK and LaGuardia, but my mic picks up those engines despite all the auralex.

Can't help feeling that our near distant descendants will hardly believe we used precious energy to move leaves from one side of the lawn to another.
They are bloody loud too aren't they?! |
