An area of worry people have when they buy a robotic mower is that it will be noisy while working.
Robotic mowers take their time mowing and in doing so may be noisy enough to be bothersome.
A noisy conventional mower is reasonable to expect, however, uncommon for it to mow for several hours at the same volume.
In This Article- We’ll explain how loud you can expect a robotic mower to be, and what are some good options of robotic mowers to buy that are quiet.
Compared to a spluttering petrol mower robotic mowers are virtually silent
The advancements in mower technology have made noisy irritating sounds a thing of the past.
Most residential robotic mowers will operate at a sound level that will be low enough to allow you to let the mower run a considerable distance in your garden without disturbing yourself or a neighbor.
Noise levels vary between models of robotic mower
The sound level emitted during the operation by the robotic mowers can differ considerably between some mower models.
The difference in sounds occurs as consequence of construction, engineering, specifications of the robot mower, and the strength of its motor.
Professional or commercial robot mowers will use a bigger more durable motor and sometimes gas powered to create a louder operational sound than a different model of robotic mower.
You can check the noise level of the robotic mower, measured in decibels
If you are concerned about sound levels, most manufacturers will include this technical information (often in decibels) in their specifications.
Normally, robot mowers are at noise levels in the 55 to 79 decibel ranges.

As your robot mower ages, you may notice an increase in volume
Despite the fact that these machines purr along like a mouse, ultimately due to aging of parts the mower will ultimately be considerably louder from use and wear.
Long mowing times will add to the noise on the robot lawn mower.
If you are hearing anything other than loud noises like rattles or bangs, that may be an indication of something being wrong.
Again, in this case, turn the lawn mower off immediately and take in for service.
