I vaguely recall some college students making a suppressor for leaf blowers, and it was effective without significantly reducing power.

The electric ones are quiet and are as effective. Suburbanites shouldn't have access to the gas powered ones.

Edit: Downvoters don't understand how to live in a society.

My battery one is still loud and I find them sorta dumb, I prefer to rake and I use it to get into areas I can't rake.

I wouldn't be mad without them though. They're pretty annoying

Yeah, but is it as loud as a single cylinder 2 stroke?

[–] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Definitely not.
