Ear protection would help you from the noisy machines 4 houses away. By the way, electric grass blowers also make noise.

Perhaps we should ban all blowers and edge clippers and go back to hand clippers and rakes. No noise and no CO2.

For that matter electricity is created by 60% Fossil Fuels, 20 % Nuclear, and 20% renewable energy.

So that says that even those using current EVs, etc are participating in the global heating issue. Perhaps sell the EV and go Solar Power (SP). Not ready yet? Too expensive? Can't afford? Don't let that stop you. Remember, the oceans are rising?
