I wouldn't say I hate them as much as mosquitoes because at least it in the wilderness the ratio of leaf blower dicks goes down (but never zero)
That said, yeah I fucking hate leaf blowers with a furious passion, and they're everywhere in my city! Regardless of the time, or day, or location in the city, there is at least one leaf blower dick audible!
I literally just emailed my local parks and rec because they built a park immediately behind my once peaceful house.
I begged them to stop leaf blowing every single day. There arent even any trees. They are just out there every day blowing the grass. Usually before 7am.
The response I got was basically "sit and spin. If you don't like it, call the cops, but they are city too so they won't do anything."
You need one of these to fight back,

Just get a pulse jet and fire it up when they start running the leaf blower. You won't be able to hear the leaf blower anymore.
Ask your city to ban them
I’m conflicted on this one. My hatred aside, the guy running the leaf blower is just trying to feed his family. I like @mipadaitu’s idea about the silencers. I doubt lawn companies would adopt them without them being mandatory or the same price as not silencing them somehow.
Noise cancelling headphones. Literally designed to knock out constant droning sounds like leaf blowers or machinery.
Still, I agree. Leaf blowers are just noise and regular pollution generators and don't really serve a meaningful purpose like good ol' fashioned raking. Or at least, I've never in my life actually seen anyone with a leaf blower, at home or professional, bagging what they're removing. They just blow it somewhere that it becomes someone else's problem.
I definitely advocate for now cancelling headphones, especially as someone with really bad misophonia.
Sadly, leaf blowers are one of the most penetrative sounds for active noise cancelling, but it's still way better than nothing
Pretty much standard procedure here. If you hire a lawn service, they’re bringing a shredder to feed it all into so they can take it away in fewer truckloads
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Might need to sound proof a room for maximum chill
OK Squidward.

Most of the problem is gas-powered blowers, which you can't silence with that technology.
