Like bagpipes, I don't think I'll ever get used to a leaf blower. I
have one and it's as band as a V-8 with straight pipes. Just a much
higher frequency.
NOw as to be anoying...the leaf blower is usually only for a few
minutes to an hour. On the water the noise is almost always there
during the day.

That is an interesting theory, except that I do not find the noise of
either
airplanes or personal watercraft to be particularly objectionable. Leaf
blowers, though...
