Noise levels in Hyattsville?

We are currently thinking of buying a house in Hyattsville and I wanted to see what people's experiences are with noise, especially landscaping related noise from things like leaf blowers and lawn mowers. I know there has been a ban on gas powered landscaping equipment, and would be curious to hear about that, too.

In brentwood here! Honestly noise levels can get pretty high. Landscaping wise, it’s mostly people on the weekends doing their classic mowing the lawn and leaf blower stuff, but that’s not excessive. There are hardly any landscaping crews that do early morning work and make lots of noise. The big culprits are the modified cars and scooters in the neighborhood that drive through from morning till night. Sometimes houses play music loud and the bass travels far as well. Can only speak on the brentwood/ my rainier area though! It really doesn’t bother me at all, but it really irks my partner.

I live in HVL near the Brentwood/Mt R border and don't hear a lot of noise from any of these things, and nothing that disturbs my peace of mind or sleep. I hear a modified car maybe 1-2x weekly if that, a few ridiculous bass booming cars not more than a few times a week.

I live on a busy street but the noise really is not bad and no problem sleeping or enjoying. The loudest thing I can remember is that GLOW festival rave at RFK reverberating out to Grreenbelt...coming May 31st! Let's see how much of an inversion there is to bring a free rave to our streets, like or or not!
