Does anyone else hate the sound of lawnmowers?

Not bothered, other neighbour noises are far more intrusive.

Oh no, I would never complain about someone mowingvtheir lawn. We all try to keep our gardens neat and tidy and a cut lawn makes such a difference. I just mean that I preferred the older lawnmowers to the new ones. The noise was gentler

My next door neighbour had a very noisy petrol mower but he used to apologise for the noise if I was around. He has a new one now which is much quieter.
I wouldn't complain about someone using a mower though. Live and let live.

I don’t mind mowers in the slightest , but dogs barking in gardens is another thing altogether!

It's not the sound of the mowers but more the sound of the clanging, banging and smashing you can hear as they blithely mow over anything and everything in the garden ! grin

Don’t mind lawnmowers. Strimmers, on the other hand...

My DH only said to me earlier why do our neighbours spend so long mowing when they only have a patch of lawn about four square meters!

I don't particularly like the sound of mowers but people have to do their work in the garden.

I’m not annoyed Polomint.
We all like to mow our lawns and our area is neat because of that. It doesn’t go on for hours as our gardens are relatively small.

I'm sitting out in thexgarden and the peace is disturbed by these awful whiney lawnmowers. As soon as someone stops, another one starts up.
Gone are the days when to hear an old fashioned roller type mower was a calming, summery sound. The lovely wee clip clip noise, I found quite soothing. Don't get me started on the petrol driven ones as those are even worse.
Am I alone in being annoyed at the sound or do others not notice?
