<p>@mindpilot</p>
<p>My take-away on the post by Tucker62 is that la <em><strong>contaminación sonora</strong> </em>es &quot;<strong>el pan de cada día</strong>&quot; from whatever the source of the noise may be, (leaf blowers, bars, barking dogs, gallos,  boom-box cars, etc.) is impossible to get away from en ZIH area.<br />
Apparently it's part of the &quot;<em>cultura </em>&quot; Mexicana.  In over 20 years, I've yet to be free from it. Still searching for a quiet place.<br />
IF anyone has ever lived anywhere in ZIH area that is relatively free from noise pollution, I'd like to know where it is?</p>

<title>Infernal leaf blower on Paseo (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>That machine must be blowing hard to get turds airborne!</p>
</blockquote><p>1.Leaf blowers generate large amounts of airborne dust, <strong>including mold spores</strong>, allergens, <strong>dried animal feces,</strong> pesticides and fine particles that increase the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis, or other lung diseases, and reduce the ability to fight infection. The EPA and the California Air Resources Board, in their brochure &quot;Particulate Matter Air Pollution: A Threat To Our Health,&quot; advise us; <strong>&quot;Avoid using leaf blowers.&quot;</strong></p>
<p>Many articles on the subject, google is your friend!  <strong>So how many months since it rained in Zih? </strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s not a perfect solution; but a couple neighbors have electric leaf blowers and they are much quieter. Get them an electric and an extra battery pack.<br />

<title>Infernal leaf blower on Paseo (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for the giggle!</p>
<p>Most likely I have felt somewhat irritated since I have lived near that area for months on end for several years. I try to smile and thank my lucky stars that I'm in Zihuatanejo. Perhaps one day better equipment will be provided for the daily worker busting his hide for his family. In the meantime ... I imagine you're enjoying what thousands of us are dearly missing. Blower or not!  <br />

<title>Infernal leaf blower on Paseo (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Does anyone know the best way to lodge a complaint about the leaf blower used by the clean-up crew to sweep off the Paseo del Pescador? It's a labour-saving device that saves no labour (they have a person with a broom following behind anyway) and is a prolific generator of noise and air pollution. It takes about an hour to sweep around the bay and you hear its infernal drone every inch of the way. The bahia is a boisterous noisy joyful place but that thing is an abomination.</p>
</blockquote><p>The thought of the fecal matter that blower is putting into the air is nauseating.</p>

</blockquote><p>We've made friends with them. The city apparently doesn't care what we think. We're way ahead of you in filing complaints, but when the mayor ignores his own family then forget it. Nothing will be done. Not the workers' fault. Please don't be rude to them.</p>
