    12 dB is a pretty decent reduction if your goal is hearing protection, 100->88 is also bringing it to something that absolutely needs hearing protection to something that’s borderline acceptable for an 8 hour shift depending on your local laws, mine say 4 hours but still, way more comfortable to use.

      The team reduced the overall leaf blower noise by about two decibels, making the machine sound 37% quieter.

      It’s an insignificant 2db, I don’t know why buddy didn’t provide the relevant information.
