The sound of the blower is similar to a vacuum cleaner. The decibel reading for our various blowers (tested at the outlet nozzle of the blower) is a range of 67-83 decibels. The average reading for our various blowers is 73dB. This average reading is lower than that of popular vacuum cleaners, which come in at a range of 75-90 dB. Typically users are not this close to the blower, so the actual decibels registered by players would be lower, or substantially lower than these results.
