I want to buy a new small rotary motor mower of about 18 to 24 inch cut. Grass box not essential as I mulch mow.
But I want a quiet one. Years ago, the long stroke mowers reved slower and were quieter. One modern one I can hear from 1/4 mile away is a Honda, which put me off that make.
I have never seen the noise of mowers compared but they all seem to have a decibel label attached.
Sometimes it is not so much the volume of noise but the frequency. A low pitch mower is more tolerable than a high pitched one. Is there a special specification for mowers used around Hospitals etc?
Does anyone know of a particularly quiet model? I prefer 4 stroke.
I am in the UK.
