I have operated both the X585 (gas) and 2210 (diesel). I was blown away by how quite the diesel was. I had a Universal 4 cylinder in my sailboat that made lots of noise but the 2210 is quite. I also don't mow with a hat on that has a brim due to the noise being deflected by the hat.
sounds more like; "PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
these engine SEEM quiet cause they sound so nice, but while mowing or anytime you're operating I strongly recommend hearing protection. Someone said the db level is over 88 which means hearing portection required. Not enough people take care of their ears.

Truly- the noise from the mower is the loudest.
