Also, I am sure he has taken off any muffler that came with the machine, none of the other lawn services around us are as loud as this one. Is there a decible level threshhold that is considered an upper limit?
Ok. Heres a guy that is probably counting his blessings that he still has a job and income during this pandemic and is working his butt off in the heat to put food on his table and pay his bills. Many of us are lucky and are retired with enough money saved or monthly pensions so we dont have to worry where our next meal is coming from. Hes not out robbing banks or mugging people. He has a legit manual labor job. I think instead of complaining about noise, we should be asking him if he would like a bottle of water. The lawn maintenance people are the ones who keep our neighborhoods looking good. A little noise at 7am which isnt an ungodly early hour and is within the guidelines can be tolerated on certain days. Theres more important things to complain about than a loud lawnmower
