Gasoline 2- stroke weed-eaters and grass blowers are EXTREMELY noisy. They bother me when I am inside my house if they are as close as 4 houses away. And I will delay my working outside in my yard until the noise makers are gone. Noise is basically detrimental to a person's health. It is also bad for the operator of noisy equipment. And I wonder how many wear ear protection?
