      Too loud? I think it would be fun. And at the end you have a neat pile of leaves. Should use them to build a house.

      Its loud and often kicks up tons of dust that can be an irritant until it eventually lands on everything nearby.

      Like others have said, it’s loud, but it’s also that it’s a constant noise that can often tend to cut through whatever you’re currently trying to focus on.

      Add on the tendency people have to feather the throttle (do leaf blowers have throttles?), making the noise really inconsistent and unpredictable, and it makes it difficult to keep what little focus you have.

      Sometimes, when there’s like 3 different leaf blowers going at once, I can barely keep my train of thought if I can’t drown it out by turning my music all the way up. :\
