More importantly banning gas blowers today, what would be next before you can do nothing but sit in your house and stare out the window.
I don’t think individuals think through these ridiculous ideas and what the real consequences would look like.

It's only loud because people have chosen to buy gas mowers and gas leaf blowers.
I have a really hard time believing no one here, in The Villages, age 60 or older, doesn't remember using an unpowered push-mower on their lawn at some point in their youth. Or a rake, or a push-broom to clean up the driveway and sidewalk.
None of those things involve much noise at all. The process is slowed down, it requires that you work, it builds upper body and core muscles, and it's a cardio workout.
For larger properties, you could even hire a farm that brings goats over to trim the lawn for you. They eat the grass. They also poop it out, which makes the wild berry vines and bushes very happy.
