6:30am “Vrrrrroooooooooooooomm!” for about a minute.
Silence for 45 seconds.
“Vrrrooooooooooooom!” for about a minute.
Repeat for the next 1 1/2 hours.
I thought it was just one particular idiot that lived near me
What’d he do?
Leaf blowing for 2 straight hours when it’s still mid summer and there are no leaves on the ground.
It doesn’t excuse it, but sometimes you just gotta take drastic measures to drown out the intrusive thoughts… Or maybe covering up someone being tortured in the basement?
He burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and delivered a plague unto our houses
Is your neighbour dual-wielding lawnmowers?
Don’t be ridiculous. He has a lawnmower in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.

To be fair, doing my work around the house after worktime at 7PM weekdays is also not going to be very popular.
I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day
Having to raise tv-computer volume vs not being able to sleep. I know my choice
Depends on what time, for me
After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too
Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea
10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.
I guess if everyone on your street is doing the same then it’s not a problem, but it’s worth noting over half the general population will have a chronotype where noise that early will be a negative for their health.
Making noise between 10am-10pm is apparently the best for everyone
Back in CA, there was a total
, appearance and all, that’d roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he’d blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.He was still not as divorced as
though.Ahhhhhhhh country living is amazing. Not one neighbor.
My parents live in the country. They have one neighbor. He’s on meth so he likes to start chainsawing right around dark and continues until around 2am.
Just get him more meth. He’ll stop soon.
Yea well no neighbors is the only way to go.
Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.
Doing the lawn after dark seems so unwholesome. Which is annoying because I could use a 25° drop in temperature.
What about flying a kite in the dark?
And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They’re nearly silent!
You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.
LEAFBLOWER INTENSIFIES
Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake.
downvotes? I’m guessing you may have offended some folks by badmouthing their favorite toy.
Look, if you live somewhere that the sun makes you regret existence (read: everywhere in 10 years), yard work is getting done in the morning, car work is getting done in the evening.
Look, if you can afford a yard, then you can afford a landscaping service.
I have neither a yard nor a car, what do I do on a Saturday
Drink
ride your bicycle to go get coffee and donuts for you and your car friends
You don’t have any yardwork or car problems to deal with, so whatever the hell you want, I presume.
Except sleep without earplugs, I guess that’s out.
Meanwhile, my wife keeps asking if it would be rude to mow the lawn at 7AM on a Saturday. With the electric mower.
and you said yes, of course I can only hope.
Modern electric mowers are actually very quiet, they’re not your parents electric mower that’s for sure lol
Mine is so quiet not only do I not need to worry about ear protection, you can’t even hear it from inside my own house so def none of the neighbors will be able to hear it either lol
What lawn mower do you have that is that quiet??? I have a Ryobi electric push mower that I bought last year and while it’s way quieter than a gas mower I would feel incredibly rude using it early in the morning.
And noise is different depending on time of day. Ambient noise is a lot lower in off-hours, so your mower would sound louder than it does during the day.
I have a greenworks push mower and I can clearly hear the birds while I’m mowing.
It’s not the most powerful thing, but it does the job really quietly.
I was riding up the street on my bicycle the other day and actually stopped and backtracked to ask my neighbor what kind of mower he was using because I was so impressed at how quiet it was. Turns out it was a Ryobi (one of their brushless 40V models, which might matter).
Based on the design I think this is the one I have: https://www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396037169#
It does say “brushless” but they’ve got a fair few different varieties. I don’t know, I mean like I said it is significantly quieter than a gas mower. It’s a good mower. But I don’t think it’s anywhere near quiet enough to consider using it during off hours.
You’re 100% correct it is still too loud to be used during off hours.
Ours merely hums, wouldn’t think the noise would make it through a window unless you were within 10’, and even then, that might not wake a sleeping neighbor.
The electric weed eater OTOH. Yeah. No.
(DeWalt BTW. 40V I think? 2 small batteries.)
I sincerely hope you never test this theory. I think many people in this thread are severely underestimating how little noise is needed to be disruptive in the early morning.
My local noise ordinance sets the maximum permissible noise in residential areas during off-hours (10pm - 9am on weekends) at 45 dB. That can be exceeded by 5 dB for 15 minutes, 10 dB for 5 minutes, and 15 dB for 1.5 minutes. Lawnmowers are an exempt source of noise during day hours only. I guarantee if you were my neighbor your mower would be in violation of noise ordinance at night.
Plus, assume some people are sleeping with their windows open. Especially in mowing weather. Windows open overnight may be the only way they keep their house bearable during hot days.
Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.
riding lawnmower comes screaming out of the garage at its max speed of 5 mph, the driver dual wielding leaf blowers
When you inhale 5 lead
Kind of needs more context. 11 am is morning.
There’s no time of day I should be able to hear your music in my own home with all doors and windows closed.
Car or house work noise tho? I’m cool.
I can hear people have a normal conversation on the street from inside my house. The walls are thin enough to let in and out all sound, but thick enough to keep in the heat in winter.
I live in a really mild climate and like to keep my windows open all the time. But fuck, I hate the vroom vrooms racing all day and night, and hearing people walking around with bluetooth boomboxes… like, when did that become a thing? headphones and jam friend, jeeeeeze… they don’t even sound good.
I don’t mind the music, but I do mind domestic disputes. The house beside mine is a rental and all of the tenants that have been there since I’ve moved in have been the worst. Trashy and constant domestic disputes and leaving their kids and dogs to just roam. I think the latest people got evicted because I haven’t seen them or their dog for a really long time. It’s been nice and quiet since they disappeared and I love it lol.

I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.
It’s ARTISTRY!
I’ve never seen a video THIS relatable.
