The construction outside my apt has been in a phase of relative quiet. It's still a construction site, there are people hammering and yelling at each other but whatever. Constructors gotta construct.

But this morning they have some new handheld tool. It makes a bit of a racket as it's cutting or doing something to metal.

But that's dwarfed by the massive amount of noise it's tiny hand held internal combustion motor makes. It's impressive how much noise that thing makes.

Electric tools, when?

@isomer On an absolute scale, is it louder than a small portable generator? (I wouldn't describe that as making massive amounts of noise and am slightly surprised at a small two-stroke engine that is louder than that.)

@robryk yes. Much much louder than the generator they had. But they also have mains power available so....

@robryk think about a big loud chainsaw motor sound.... It's like that.
