Robot mowers are much quieter than gas mowers, but they're not silent. Noise levels range from 58-65 dB — about the level of a normal conversation. This guide compares the noise output of every major wire-free robot mower.

Robot Mower Noise Basics

Robot mower noise is measured in decibels (dB) at 1 meter distance. For context: 50 dB = quiet conversation, 60 dB = normal conversation, 70 dB = vacuum cleaner, 85 dB = gas push mower, 95 dB = gas riding mower. Most robot mowers are 58-65 dB — much quieter than gas mowers but not silent.
