I feel you but mainly because I get to hear a lawn mower almost every day since different people outside my apartment are mowing on different days. The noise pollution is unbearable sometimes.
Two-stroke engines need to be banned for most applications. Electric equipment only. And honestly even then I feel like you should need a permit to make that amount of noise, and it should be like the rules for animal research, you need a plan to replace or minimize where possible.
Do you really need to be weed whacking along that fence? Is it actually gonna be a problem? If so, do you really need to be doing it weekly? Would monthly suffice?
Years ago, a particular most environmentally conscious leftist on Hexbear got really mad when I talked about how ruinous and wasteful two-stroke leaf blowers were. They said that rakes were impossible to use in their particular little lot of land, that electric leaf blowers were insufficient (and that I should buy them one if I wanted them to use one) and emphasized "you don't fucking know my situation"
I never had a situation where rakes were insufficient. Even if you want to remove leaves from long grass (for whatever reason), a rake with long prongs is sufficient. Blowers are just about convenience and speed. I hate them with passion, as you cannot block out the noise, even with a closed window and head between pillows. And while the electric ones are a bit better they're still way too noisy.
the fucking lawn machines are so loud and just constant. the suburbs are unironically louder than the city because of dipshits growing a crop of fucking grass
