I brought down from the mid-Atlantic a gas mower and trimmer. I still work and thought I would cut the grass on weekends, but the summer is so hot that the only time to do it is late in the evening or very early in the morning. As a result, I purchased a battery-operated mower, trimmer, edger attachment, and blower.
I did this to give myself the option to do yard work when others are still getting up or just sitting down for the evening. I didn't want to be "that person" running gas equipment during those hours.
I understand your concern about noise -- it bothers me, but there is little to do about it. I'm trying to do my part, though.
