Well, some vehicles make lots of noise as well. Then you have some idiots who feel the need to play their so called music so loud while driving. My major pet peeve is with trains. I despise them as much as Steven Frankenmonkey Tyler and Aerosmith. There big, there loud, there ugly and worst of all, they hold up traffic something terrible.

It's been a while since you mentioned Frankenmonkey - I was starting to get worried.

This is why I love winter. My windows are closed and it's so cold that no one stays outside.

Did you know that there's a movement underway to get rid of lawns in the western US, or several movements?

There's the environmentalists who are worried about declining numbers of insects (including beneficial insects like bees and butterflies), and the general loss of wildlife habitat, and who are all beavering away to turn their lawns into gardens that support biodiversity. And then there are the sensible people who have noticed that lots of places in the west really don't have enough water to support lawns everywhere, and who've replaced their lawns with drought-resistant seriscaping. BTW this is one of the things that makes Tucson one of my favorite cities, there's desert landscaping everywhere instead of lawns, and it gives the city a unique and attractive look.

IMHO lawns cant go away fast enough, the fucking noisy lawnmowers aren't the only reason they suck.

Those "gravel lawns" never make a sound! Moviechat should love them!

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 4 years ago

And there are laws that you have to cut your grass before a certain height. If I don't want to cut it, I don't want to cut it.

My oh my, I find a well kept green lawn a thing of beauty. Nothing looks better in front of a home than a healthy lawn. The water part of what you said makes sense. However, it baffles me how people can have calamities with such things sometimes. With all the trouble in America and the world, can't you find something more important and urgent to obsess with than lawns and lawnmowers?

reply

[–] Otter (24464) 4 years ago

Personally I think lawns look as boring as hell, and I deeply admire people who have beautiful front gardens with flowers and shade trees and herbs and bird feeders and stuff. I don't aspire to be one myself as that's too much work for my lazy ass, so if I ever buy a house with a yard it's low-maintenance seriscaping for me!

But liking lawns or gardens more is just a personal preference, but the fact is, the water issue isn't going away. Put in a lawn around here, and you can expect to have to let it die during droughts. This place is naturally prone to drought cycles that last for years, that's just a fact.

Otter- I love the look of that desert landscaping! I live in the east and if I had the money, I'd replace my lawn with that look. I like my lawn, but it's a pain in the a@@ to mow. I hired someone to do it this summer and he's fast and efficient.

I just expect the sound of lawn mowers in the summer time, just like the sounds of children playing outside. It's the sound of life.

A sound that's really annoying is teen-agers riding their off road vehicles through the streets day and night. For some reason, they don't get ticketed. Also, motorcycles fly up and down the street late at night. I don't know what they do to make them sound that loud, but the noise is deafening at 2:00 A.M.

I first learned to sleep when I had a Siamese cat, and kept at it because I lived next to a busy road for a while and liked to sleep with the windows open. I can't recommend it too highly, if you have dirtbag neighbors who like to run noisy vehicles at night!

That, or telecommuting from a place in the country, if that's an option. Sadly, it's not an option in my field.

You should turn your tv volume up, dude.

It's still annoying. Now I have a really loud movie and an annoying lawnmower in the background.

Leaf blowers are louder.

All gas powered yard equipment is ridiculously loud. Electric mowers are less noisy. Manual ones are not noisy at all. Some cities have banned gas powered blowers or passed restricted hours on use of them.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 4 years ago

I'm a fan of those cities. I don't understand how something that only does one simple thing, can be so damn loud.

[–] MaximRecoil (4264) 4 years ago

You know what else is too loud? Someone dribbling a basketball on your street. I don't know why that sound, which doesn't seem very loud when you're near it or dribbling a basketball yourself, carries so far.

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 4 years ago

Kids in general are loud. Even in regular discussions kids shout.

It's not that loud and if you are ten houses away from it I'd say the sound would be more faded away.

The guy was a few houses down and it was incredibly loud. It's a good thing I wasn't outside.
