Car/Truck mufflers do amazing work muffling noise. A car is nearly silent when running with a muffler, compared to what it would sound like with open manifolds. When I fire up my Honda push mower, the whole neighborhood knows about it, and it’s actually kinda quiet as mowers go. So eli5 : Why can’t lawnmower mufflers work like automotive mufflers?

I travel for business, and whilst I was gone my Mrs couldn’t get the mower started (neither could the neighbor) I told her to go buy a spark plug. She went and bought an electric mower.
I hated that thing, it definitely makes you stay on your toes. Unless you have a half dozen batteries laying around you don’t want that grass to get too tall.
But other than that…. Man I love that thing. So quiet I can mow at 6am! And it’s half the weight of gas.
