Earth
Tractor does not create noise pollution. With
a trailer load you can hear the wheels touching
the ground but no sound of a motor. When cutting
a lawn with a reel mower you can hear the scissors
of the mower but no combustion engine. Others
can not hear you mowing the lawn from inside your
family's home or that of your neighbor.
Loud noise can
contribute to hearing loss when it exceeds 85
decibels according to the National Institute for
Occupational Safety (NIOSH; www.cdc.gov/niosh)
The Flatlander, pulling a reel mower, has noise
levels lower than a clothes dryer at 65 decibels.
