Noise annoyance toward landscaping equipment was one of nine sources evaluated in the Canadian Perspectives on Environmental Noise Survey, completed online by 6647 Canadian adults. At 6.3% (95% confidence interval = 5.8-6.9), landscaping equipment ranked third after road traffic and construction noise. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression modelled factors associated with annoyance. The perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on outdoor noise annoyance, education level, working/attending school from home, geographic region, province, noise sensitivity, sleep disturbance, duration of residency, and perceived changes in outdoor daytime noise influenced the odds of reporting high annoyance toward landscaping equipment noise over the previous year.
