You're Not Alone If Your Noisy Neighbor Drives You Crazy, According to New Survey by Husqvarna

Loud lawn equipment is one of the most common distractions for Americans, but Husqvarna's Automower^® is bringing an end to noisy neighborhoods with a quieter, more convenient alternative

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Springtime is coming - the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the sound of lawnmowers is driving Americans up the wall and destroying neighborhood relationships, according to a survey by Husqvarna.*

Nearly a fifth of Americans have considered moving because of difficulty with a neighbor, while loud lawn equipment proves to be one of the most troublesome distractions, topping the list of neighborly noise complaints.   

With most Americans (74%) wishing their neighbors were quieter at some point, Husqvarna, the World Leader in Robotic Mowing**, has a solution to restore peace and quiet. While traditional gas mowers produce an average sound of 95-100 decibels, making your neighborhood as loud as a highway with traffic, the Husqvarna Automower^® has an average sound level of 58-69 decibels, equivalent to a normal conversation.

• Four in five claim loud lawn equipment has disrupted their daily routine at some point. 65% of Americans wish lawncare equipment was quieter.
• A quarter of Americans say neighborhood noise disturbs their or their family's leisure or rest time.
• Privacy (75%) and quiet (65%) top the list, with the majority of Americans rating these as the most desirable characteristics of a neighborhood.

"The survey results really highlight the need for a quieter, more considerate approach to lawn care, and that's exactly what Husqvarna's Automower^® provides," said Alex Trimboli, Director, Robotics Marketing North America at Husqvarna Group. "As we can see, noise from lawn equipment is a major source of tension between neighbors, and Automower^® offers a smarter, quieter, and more innovative solution to this common problem."

Using a Husqvarna Automower^® not only makes you a quality neighbor but also saves you time and effort while providing a healthier and better-looking lawn. With the newly launched Automower^® 450X and 450XH EPOS™, homeowners can enjoy a wire-free mowing solution that offers multiple work areas with customized schedules, cutting heights and mowing patterns. Battery-powered and emissions-free, the Automower® is better for the environment, your lawn and your neighbor relations.
