Then let them blow. Why are people getting so wrapped up on a nothing issue. “OMG I bought a house/rented an apartment around people and the people noises are bothering me! These people are the worst!” Instead of “if I wanted peace and quiet I’d move somewhere with peace and quiet instead of complaining about the people I live close to doing people stuff.” Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Edit: I bought a house on a postage stamp in the middle of the city. My neighbor decided to get a motorcycle this year. Ok, it’s a little loud sometimes. But, it’s the city. Also, my dogs bark sometimes when I’m taking a shit in the morning so I have to rush to bring them inside, and sometimes that’s like 5 minutes of barking at 06:30. I honestly am worried about my neighbors being annoyed by it. So, sure. My neighbor can have a motorcycle. It’s a free world. Other people can blow leaves. My dogs will bark. Getting annoyed by noise and judging people on it, especially when there’s a legitimate reason for it, is absurd. Get upset at the guys making their cars louder or music and cruising relentlessly. But, their dogs barking a little when let out, their motorcycles just turning over before they roll out, or them mowing or blowing leaves? Seems like people are thin skinned when it comes to living in a society here.
