I didn't think mine was that loud. My lawn mower was noisier. I don't think this was something that would be used that close to the front. I guess you could throw a tarp over it to help deaden any noise.

Bruce.

I would agree with your assessment. When mine were running on the back patio, with just the standard mushroom muffler attached, it was quieter than the average gas lawn mover. When I moved it from the concrete patio to the lawn, it was quieter again, probably due to loss of reflected sound.

Seem to recall that when it was under load charging a battery, the sound level dropped a bit more as well.

The signalman with headphones is a good actor . Look at the antenna post on the wireless set, there isn't anything connected to it
