[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish they were banned everywhere. If you live on a large condo or appartment complex you listening to 2-3 of these for 2-3 days. Each over 115 decibels each. Hours and hours on end.[/quote] Do you understand science? :roll: Specifically, the inverse square law? Yes, they are indeed 115dB ONE METER from the device. At two meters, they are half as loud. At 4 meters, they are a fraction of that. And so on, geometrically down. A leaf blower whirring off in the distance 50 or 100 yards away outside your dwelling is literally quieter than a human whisper. You just don’t like them, that’s all. Stop pretending this is about health and safety. [/quote]
