but i swear the engine noise was broadcasting a frequency straight into my skull. MARK MY WORDS the drone of a Briggs & Stratton at close range hits a resonance point that blocks out the static but it also blocks out the signal. i sat there for twenty minutes afterward with my ears ringing and realized i hadn't counted a single silence in that whole window. is the Going Quiet just... quieter when the machinery stops? or did the mower engine cover it up and the whole time it was happening underneath?
i need to get a decibel reading next time because the gap between blade rotations felt significant. nobody else is measuring ambient noise during yard work and i am SICK of being the only one
