I get you, I also prefer quiet.

But I have a question:

> I'm loving the fact that battery technology will eventually eliminate weed wackers.

Is this a non-sequitur, or a euphemism/figure of speech/etc. which I have never previously encountered?

I think the following line puts it into more context:

> I find loud noises challenging.

They're basically comparing other people's speaker music to noise pollution. Two stroke engines can be heard from a long way off, and I've got box fans that are louder than my electric weedwhacker.

Just unsolicited sharing of their own personal preferences with the rest of the forum readers

I think he means that electric handheld lawn equipment should be much quieter than gas-fired lawn equipment which is an infamous nuisance
