Noise reference

How loud is your mower?

Approximate sound-floor readings for every mower in our catalogue, sorted quietest to loudest. Numbers are typical at-operator measurements — actual dB varies with throttle, grass condition, and microphone distance.

Reference points: a normal conversation is ~60 dB, a vacuum cleaner ~75 dB, a petrol chainsaw ~110 dB. The HSE recommends ear protection for any sustained exposure above 85 dB.

Whisper-quiet < 60 dB

Robotic. Quieter than a normal conversation. Run any time without disturbing neighbours.
