I understand the difficulty with chippers isn't the engine noise, it's the
`hammering' of the blades against whatever is being chipped.  The noise
being allowed out of the box by virtue of the fact that it has to open to
allow for the machine to be fed.  This topped off by a handy megaphone
shaped feed chute.  The only way I could see this being solved is by
replacing the speed and weight/momentum approach of most chippers with the
slow, relentless, highly geared approach of, say, sewage munchers.  I
recall (can't forget) looking at the munchers as an option for high volume
green waste reduction and vicious things they are but not too noisy.

Oh and get well soon!!

Steve
