A recent Word was about good sounds. This is a quick thought about bad sounds.  

There are two sounds that particularly irritate me. One is the snarl of a leaf blower and the other is the look-at-me roar of a motorcycle or car. There might be an excuse once in a while for a noisy engine. Could be a broken muffler and no money for repair or something, but most often for the owner it is simply show off time. My  irritation is justified. 

The leaf blower is without excuse; there are rakes and brooms and muscles. My  irritation is justified.
