Best to come down and see for yourself and maybe even sit in your car at different times of day to see what noise you hear. In my opinion the worst noises in the Villages are all the gasoline powered lawnmowers, trimmers, weed wackers, power washers , etc. Hopefully in the future we will have all battery operated machines. Landscaper noise pervades the neighborhoods everyday as different crews come and go with their loud Dodge Ram trucks.
I totally agree with you regarding noise of blowers, etc. I hear they are outlawed in Naples - wish we could have the same here."October 2020 the City of Naples amended its Noise Ordinance to prohibit the use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers in in the City. This prohibition takes effect October 21, 2021. Battery and electric leaf blowers will continue to be allowed as long as they do not generate a decibel level above 65 dBA."
