the musical instruments of hell

I used to imagine the musical instruments of hell were raucous death metal guitars, or the thump of hip-hip subwoofers, or the cacophonies of John Cage. But I have come to conclude that none of these disturb and unsettle the auditory senses so much as the ubiquitous monotony of the leaf blower---if preachers would only make use of this eventual reality I think many would begin traveling down the narrow way of Faith and Virtue. And it is certain that such unrest would never enter the perpetual peace of that country and its quiet would only ever be intermittently broken by the sweet scrape of a rake on the glad gold streets.
