I recently bought the 670 CFM leaf blower to start replacing my Ryobi 40v gear. It blows nicely, but the sound is absolutely obnoxious, super shrill, high-pitched kind of similar to a circular or miter saw but louder and constant, even at low speeds. When compared to my Ryobi leaf blower that's a bit more powerful (on paper) it's basically unusable.

The video doesn't really do it justice. I've tried watching reviews and looking at posts but have not seen this as a complaint and I can't tell from the audio.

This is my first ego gear and I don't know anybody else who has any so I was wondering if this was normal or if I should look at a different CFM leaf blower. Thanks!
