HOW ANNOYING is it to hear the leaf blowers while you are TRYING TO STUDY!?!?!?

Question

I take the day off work to study for a very important exam I need to take. I cant go anywhere else because it needs to be done from my home computer and all I can hear since 8am is the stupid blankety blank...blank.... leaf blowers going around my apartment complex and it is driving me NUTS?!?!

How is a guy supposed to study in peace and quiet with all this racket? What should I do?

Answer 1

Call your local code enforcement and make a complaint about the noise.  In our city, enough of us did and they changed the ordinance regarding leaf blowers and now they must have mufflers and not exceed certain noise perameters.

Answer 2

leaf blowers are annoying anytime yes some cities have noise bylaws for certain decibels need to find out what it is and if the leaf blower falls into that category

Answer 3

there isn't much you can do. during the day is when most people work. that's life.

Answer 4

ear plugs? Idk how annoying it is I don't study. Ughhh but during night time when I'm trying to sleep ugh. Who seriously has to clean up leaves at night time? you could go to the local library and use their computer?

Answer 5

Well there are other people in the world you know. They have their chores to do too, not just you. Just let them finish, it wont take long, or imagine the racket as music and the sounds around let them flow and use ur creative mind to imagine them as peaceful music.

Answer 6

call the law enforcement on them and file a complaint

Answer 7

Annoying it might be, but it's his right to do so if it's within reasonable hours.  I suggest you go to the library or invest in a good pair of earplugs.

Answer 8

Wow. Tis the season. We have been complaining about the leafblowers all day at work... I'd try earplugs or maybe some light classical music that could block it out.
