I have a Black n Decker cordless rechargeable Mower I bought at Lowe's. It was expensive, but it is less noisy than a gas mower and I do not have to buy gas.
Take a look at our new addition. It#39;s a Honda Lawn Tractor model 3813 powered by a 13hp liquid-cooled overhead cam inline twin cylinder motor ...
I have a gas powered push lawn mower, and it is a bit noisy. It is a 4 horsepower Briggs & Stratton. Is there any way I could lower the noise that is produces when running? Thanks in advance!
You should be able to find an after market muffler at a small engine repair shop. I got one adapted from a Honda to fit my 5HP Briggs, big difference. The blade can also be noisy, especially the mulching blades. If you don't need the mulching effect, get the straightest blade with the the least amount of lift. Your repair shop should know what I'm talking about. RScott
I'm thinking about buying a manual or reel mower for this summer. My yard's not that big for starters and I like the idea of a quiet mower. I do have a small hill in the backyard though and I'm wondering how this will work on that hill? WIll it give a smooth, even cut?
As long as you can walk up and down the hill and control the lawnmower then it will work just beautifully on the hill. Just imagine what a wonderful contribution you're making to the environment by not using electricity or fossil fuels to power a piece of equipment.
Thank You

Black and decker, so it is a good machine.
twpo main reasons for an electric to get loud, 1) you havent cleaned off the caked on grass clippings from the bottom of the machine
2) the bearings are going
then there is option 3) the nut that holds the blade on may be loose.
( laughs at the guy who says bad gas or oil change in an electric machine)
I am 13 years old,but i have been around cars and engines all my life, so don't think i'm one of these stoopid tennagers just tryng to build it just to destroy it. I have an older rear engine snapper riding mower that i am wanting to turn in to somewhat of a racing mower. Not to go out and race or anything,but i want it to go pretty fast because i have quiet alot of land, but i don't want to spend a whole bunch of money to do it, so if you have any suggestions please tell me!!!!
since you are not stupid but you are a kid I say ask somewhere else. Do you like bicycles?
» Quiet Studio, Noisy WorldNewMediaGear
Electrically, and acoustically the world is a very noisy place. Whether you record musical instruments, the human voice or other forms of art and communication, noise can be a real problem. The quality of portable recorders and the availability of very high quality microphones only highlight the problem.
Recently, a listener asked me about quiet PC’s. I started thinking about not just PC’s, but different models of Macs as well. Add in ambient factors such as sound absorption, reflections, studio size (even the neighbors lawn mower), microphone type and a myriad of others. They all add to the bottom line of noise problems and the dreaded process of editing out “distractions”.
...Advantages Of Electric Lawn Mowers - EcoHuddle Community
Gas-powered mowers send over 1,800 times the hydrocarbons into the atmosphere when compared to the environmentally-sound choice of battery-powered mowers.
Well over 5 million of these machines are still sold in the U.S. every year, but these machines have barely evolved in over half a century, and in today’s world that’s really behind the times. According to the EPA, gas mowers are reponsible for nearly 5% of our nation’s total air pollution. Over 800 million gallons of gasoline are used mowing our nation’s lawns every year. And if you operate one for more than 15 minutes, experts advise you to wear hearing protection.
