On: Sounding the alarm: How noise hurts the heart (2021)

[mannykannot]

I feel the average leaf in our neighborhood gets blown off a lawn four or five times before it decays or gets bagged. It's a great business model!

I suck up and chop the thicker drifts with an electric vacuum device, and mulch them. There is some noise, but no-one can hear it over the blowers.

Two sound sources that don't bother me at all are songbirds and kids playing.
