Backpack Blowers Noise Affects Your Tenants

Many times you know your lawn maintenance is almost done when the backpack blowers begin howling outside your office.

Have you ever had a tenant complain that they are a day sleeper and don’t appreciate being jarred from their bed during the middle of their sleep cycle by the maintenance work?

Keep in mind that all backpack blowers are not created equal.  The noise level comes from different parts of the blower.  How quiet the gas motor is and how well designed the actual fan and tube of the blower is.  These two can combine to be as much as 20 decibels higher or lower.

Some blowers are very shrill in their sound.  Others have a deeper, lower tone.  Even though the actual sound level may be similar the lower tone will be perceived as quieter.

Older blowers tend to be twice as noisy as the newer versions and many property owners are unaware that they are “certified” low noise blowers available.  The low noise blowers are designed to  perform well in noise-sensitive environments.

The Echo company has been the leader in the effort to provide environmentally friendly leaf blowers.  Today, Echo's "Quiet 1" is the benchmark to which all other manufacturers compare their new leaf blowers.  It was the very first quiet leaf blower at 65 dB(A)1, which has been on the market for more than 15 years.  The design contains sound absorbing materials that have eliminated the whine typical of older blowers.  A new concept muffler was introduced to lessen exhaust sounds and a patented sound attenuator was added to the air intake system.  Even special plastics were employed to deaden any rattle that might be caused by engine vibration.  The air impeller (fan) and cowling were redesigned to reduce airflow sound while maintaining top efficiency and performance.
