Compared to a spluttering petrol mower robotic mowers are virtually silent
With automated mower technology, loud intrusive noise is a thing of the past.
Almost all robotic mowers for residential use have relatively quiet functioning, meaning you can let them work in your garden for long periods without disturbing you or your neighbours.
Noise levels vary between models of robotic mower
Some robot mowers are louder than others.
This is because they vary in specifications, engineering and the power of their motor.
Professional robot mowers, or mowers suited to large areas have much more powerful motors, with some models being gas powered, meaning that they will generate much more noise.
You can check the noise level of the robotic mower, measured in decibels
If quiet operation is important to you, most manufacturers will include the operating volume of their robotic mowers, measured in decibels, as part of their technical specifications.
Most of the models of robot mower available right now have a noise level between 55 and 79 decibels.
