People search for EGO Power+ decibels because EGO's US pages do not answer the question. Pick any EGO mower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer or chainsaw on egopowerplus.com and you will find runtime, torque and a gas engine equivalent, but no noise figure. Blowers get a bare "62dB" or "64dB" with nothing behind it. Yet EGO publishes full noise declarations for almost every one of these tools, in the operator's manuals it posts for Europe. This page gathers all of them for the tools EGO sells in the US, says exactly what each number is, and ranks like with like.
Every figure here is EGO's own, read on October 3, 2026 from 37 manuals on egopowerplus.eu, from EGO's US product pages and 2026 catalog, and from EGO Commercial's US pages. How EGO compares with other brands is a separate question, which our guide to the quietest lawn mowers and its sibling guides answer.
Our picks are listed above, with full specifications for each.
What EGO publishes, and where
EGO's European manuals carry a specifications table with three noise rows for every tool. The rows read, for the LM2130E-SP mower: "Measured sound power level LWA 89.8 dB(A) K=3.35 dB(A)", "Sound pressure level at operator's ear LPA 80.3 dB(A) K=3 dB(A)", and "Guaranteed sound power level LWA (measured according to 2000/14/EC) 93 dB(A)". Chainsaws and some hedge trimmers say "working position" or "operator's position" instead of "operator's ear". No manual names a measurement standard for the operator figure; only the guaranteed value cites a directive.
The guaranteed value is the number EU law puts on the tool's label. The measured value is what the test produced, and K is the uncertainty EGO attaches to it. The operator figure is the one you feel. Our sound power vs sound pressure explainer covers why the two cannot be set against each other, and this page never does: operator figures are ranked against operator figures, and guaranteed ceilings against guaranteed ceilings.
EGO's US pages publish three things. For most tools, nothing. For consumer blowers, a "SOUND PRESSURE" row in the 2026 catalog that reads 64dB for the LB8803-2, LB7654, LB6703 and LB6504 and 62dB for the LB6151 and LB5302, with no distance, standard or speed; the LB6151 page itself says "63 dB". For the commercial LBPX8000, LBPX1100 and LBX1000, a "65db(A) decibel rating at 50 feet meets ANSI standards". The 50 foot figure is a real, stated condition and we show it beside the EU rows. The bare 62 and 64 dB figures have no condition at all, and the gap between them and the same tools' EU declarations, 26 decibels in the LB6151's case, shows they are not the same quantity.
EGO's commercial tools use one model number worldwide: LMX5300SP, STX4500, HTX5300-P, LBX1000 and LBPX8000 appear with the same number in the EU manual and on the US page, so those mappings are firm. Consumer tools carry an E suffix in Europe and sometimes a different number, so we match by the specs both documents print and say how strong the match is. The LM2135SP is the firmest consumer mapping: EGO's EU manuals index files an "LM2135E-SP" under the LM2130E-SP manual, and the 2021 edition's blade speed, bag, cutting heights and weight match the US manual exactly. The 16 inch telescopic trimmer is the loosest, as its pick explains.
Four EGO mowers sold in the US have an EU declaration. At the operator's ear, quietest first:
- LM2020SP (EU LM2020E-SP): 79.2 dB(A), K 3
- LM2135SP (EU LM2130E-SP, filed as LM2135E-SP): 80.3 dB(A), K 3
- LMX5300SP (same number): 83 dB(A), K 3
- LM2236SP (EU LM2230E-SP, probable match): 83 dB(A), K 3
By guaranteed sound power: LM2020SP and LM2135SP at 93 dB(A), LMX5300SP at 95, LM2236SP at 96. The 22 inch mowers are louder on both counts than the 20 and 21 inch ones, which fits the pattern in our mower guide that the blade and deck, not the motor, set much of a mower's cutting noise. EGO's smaller European mowers, the 42 cm LM1710E family, declare as little as 77 dB(A) and a guaranteed 91, but EGO sells no mower that small in the US. For a small yard with neighbors close by, our guide to the quietest battery lawn mowers ranks walk-behinds on guaranteed sound power, where the LM2135SP's 93 dB(A) is the lowest of its picks.
Eight EGO blowers sold in the US have an EU declaration. At the operator's ear, quietest first:
- LB5804, 580 CFM (EU LB5800E): 78.4 dB(A), K 2.5
- LB5302, 530 CFM, sold in combo kits (EU LB5300E): 81.8 dB(A), K 2.5
- LB6003, 600 CFM backpack (EU LB6000E): 82 dB(A), K 2.5
- LBPX8000, 800 CFM commercial backpack (same number): 82 dB(A), K 3
- LB7654, 765 CFM (EU LB7650E): 82.8 dB(A), K 2.5
- LBX1000, 1000 CFM commercial handheld (same number): 86 dB(A), K 3
- LB6151, 615 CFM (EU LB6150E): 88 dB(A), K 3
- LB6703, 670 CFM (EU LB6700E): 91 dB(A), K 3
By guaranteed sound power: LB6003 at 95 dB(A), LB5302 at 97, LB5804, LBPX8000 and LBX1000 at 98, LB7654 and LB6151 at 99, LB6703 at 101. Notice that the 765 CFM blower is declared quieter than the 615 and 670 CFM blowers at the ear and no louder in sound power, so CFM alone predicts nothing here.
Three more blowers have only a US figure. The LB6504 and LB8803-2 carry EGO's "64dB" with no basis, and the LBPX1100 commercial backpack carries the 65 dB(A) at 50 feet rating in the 2026 catalog. EGO Commercial's LBX6000 page is still live but the tool is off its product listing; its EU manual is worth knowing anyway, because it declares a different figure for each nozzle, 84.5 dB(A) at the ear without a nozzle, 81.5 with the round nozzle and 80.2 with the flat one, under one guaranteed 95. That is the only EGO document that shows how much the accessory on the end changes the noise.
Only the three commercial models have the bystander figure that city ordinances use, and that figure is the one our leaf blower guide ranks every brand on. Our guide to the quietest backpack leaf blowers sets the LBPX8000's 65 dB(A) at 50 feet beside other brands' backpacks, and keeps the LB6003 and LBPX8000's 82 dB(A) at the ear in a separate list.
Five trimmers sold in the US have an EU declaration. At the operator's ear, quietest first:
- ST1511S, 15 inch aluminum split shaft (EU ST1510E): 72.6 dB(A), K 2.5
- ST1611T, 16 inch telescopic (EU ST1610E-T; feature set closer to the ST1623T): 77 dB(A), K 3
- ST1511T, 15 inch aluminum telescopic (EU ST1510E-T): 78.1 dB(A), K 3
- ST1534, 15 inch rear motor (EU ST1530E, line head): 81.7 dB(A), K 2.5
- STX4500, 17.5 inch commercial (same number): 82.3 dB(A), K 3
By guaranteed sound power: ST1611T at 92 dB(A), ST1511S at 93, ST1511T at 95, ST1534 and STX4500 at 96. The ST1530E manual also lists a column for an optional three tooth blade, at 76.5 dB(A) and a guaranteed 98, which shows a blade can be quieter at the ear and louder to the street at the same time. The STX4500's EU manual prints a 5200 rpm top speed where EGO Commercial's US page prints 5,700, a difference we flag rather than explain. For how these sit against STIHL and Husqvarna, see our string trimmer guide.
Four hedge trimmers sold in the US have an EU declaration. At the operator's position, quietest first:
- HT2501, 25 inch (EU HT6500E): 83.45 dB(A), K 2.5
- HT2601, 26 inch (EU HT2600E): 84 dB(A), K 3
- HTX5300-P, 21 inch commercial short pole (same number): 84 dB(A), K 3
- HT2411, 24 inch (EU HT2410E): 86.47 dB(A), K 3
By guaranteed sound power: HT2501 at 93 dB(A), HT2601 at 94, HTX5300-P at 95, HT2411 at 96. EGO's newest European hedge trimmers, the HT5110E and HT6510E, declare 76 and 78 dB(A) at the working position with guaranteed ceilings of 86 and 87, and EGO's EU page calls the HT6510E "an evolution of the HT6500E" with "40% less vibration than the previous model". No US model number maps to them yet; if one appears, it would be EGO's quietest hedge trimmer by a wide margin. Our hedge trimmer guide has the cross brand picture, where EGO sits at the loud end of the battery range.
Six chainsaws sold in the US have an EU declaration. At the operator's ear or working position, quietest first:
- CS1401, 14 inch, and CS1604, 16 inch (EU CS1400E and CS1600E, 2021 manual): 85.4 dB(A), K 2.5
- CS2005, 20 inch (EU CS2000E): 89 dB(A), K 3
- CS1611, 16 inch 40cc class (EU CS1610E): 91.25 dB(A), K 2.5
- CS1815, 18 inch 50cc class (EU CS1810E): 92 dB(A), K 3
- CS1804, 18 inch 45cc class (EU CS1800E): 92.53 dB(A), K 3
By guaranteed sound power: CS1401 and CS1604 at 99 dB(A), CS1815 at 102, CS1611 at 103, CS2005 and CS1804 at 105. The 20 inch saw is the odd one: the lowest ear figure of the current generation and the highest ceiling. EGO's 12 inch CS1201 has no match we trust. EGO's EU CS1200E is a top handle arborist saw on a 1/4 inch chain, declared at 89 dB(A) and a guaranteed 101, while the US CS1201 is a compact saw on a 3/8 inch chain, so we do not carry that figure over. Our chainsaw guide ranks EGO's saws beside STIHL's and Husqvarna's. If you need a 16 inch bar for firewood with neighbors close by, our guide to electric chainsaws for storm cleanup and firewood picks the CS1604 for EGO owners.
What moves the numbers inside EGO's range
- Tool type first. EGO's trimmers occupy the 72 to 82 dB(A) band at the ear, mowers 79 to 83, blowers 78 to 91, hedge trimmers 83 to 86 and chainsaws 85 to 93. Roughly every 10 decibels sounds twice as loud, so EGO's quietest saw sounds about twice as loud at the ear as its quietest trimmer. Our decibel chart places these bands among everyday sounds.
- Generation. Where EGO has replaced a tool, the new one is not always quieter in the paperwork. The CS1610E replaced the CS1600E in Europe and declares six decibels more at the ear. The HT6510E replaced the HT6500E and declares five fewer.
- Size within a type. The 22 inch mowers declare three decibels more at the ear than the 20 and 21 inch mowers, and the 18 inch saws more than the 14 and 16. Blowers break the pattern, with the 765 CFM model quieter at the ear than the 615 and 670.
- Accessories. The LBX6000 declares four decibels less with its flat nozzle than without one, and the ST1530E declares five fewer at the ear with a blade than with line, while its guaranteed ceiling rises two.
EGO's own claims, in EGO's words
EGO's US pages describe noise without numbers. The LB5804 is "4 times quieter than gas blowers". The LB6003 backpack is "up to 30 times quieter" than comparable gas blowers. The CS1604 "delivers the performance of gas without the noise, fuss and fumes", and the CS1201 packs "the power of a 30cc gas chain saw into a compact, lightweight package without the noise, fuss, or fumes". None of these claims comes with a figure, a distance or a standard, and we have not tested them. The one quantified claim EGO makes in the US is the commercial blowers' 65 dB(A) at 50 feet, which its own manuals say to treat with hearing protection at the operator's end: the LBPX8000 manual says to wear ear protection, and so does every EU manual we read.
We did not measure any of these tools. Every figure on this page is EGO's own, quoted from its European operator's manuals with the model number it was declared on, from its US product pages and 2026 catalog, and from EGO Commercial's US pages, all read on October 3, 2026, and ranked only against figures of the same kind.
