Quiet vaccuum-cleaners have been available for decades. People don't like them because they do not sound like they have any power, and when given a choice between two equal vaccuum cleaners will choose the louder one.

People like the good old-fashioned sound of a gasoline-powered engine.
There is nothing the greenazis can do about it.

I'm actually getting sick of the sound, moreso the ambient noise that combines with the engine and makes me have to crank up the radio to hear anything.

Give me an SUV with no wind noise and one of these motors, and as long as it has a GVWR that will get me a section 179 deduction, I'll buy it. If I want to hear the noise of an engine I'll buy something like an olds 442 for fun.
