Do you think it would be loud enough for a large riding mower? Thanks Brian

Yes, I can hear my son coming on his ATV at 1.5 miles away. Although I can't hear what is playing, I can hear the radio. They sound really good to when used as a simple radio.

I'm not sure it would be loud enough for a motorcycle. I use it on my bicycle and it's fine but when I go down hill at 20+mph it is difficult to hear.

Its not very loud. I have ours in a wood shelter. You have to be close to hear it.

Yes but I'm not sure how loud it would be. Computer has a really good sound.

I use it out in the yard; it is plenty loud for maybe 10 people. In fact, I have to turn it down so we can talk most of the time. If there are more than 10 people, however, I would imagine the crowd din would drown it out.

Probably not. While its loud enough to hear clearly from the other end of my apartment I would think you would need something significantly louder to hear from a greater distance outdoors.

This pump is about as loud as a new lawn mower. If you put a deflector wall around it, it would help some. It is a great pump.

I have not yet tried to reduce lawnmower noise. Yet, I found these to work very well on an airplane. From what I have experienced, they do best with monotonous lower frequencies. I'm guessing that it will somewhat reduce the noise. But certainly not reduce it dramatically or completely.

One other thought. If there is a Lowes or Home Depot near you with demonstration fans, run one with a similar Sone rating and then you can get a feel for how loud it will be. Best of luck. Stephen

I think it's a bit louder than a lawn mower but it's tough to say. Lawnmowers eventually get turned off. I had this thing running for three days so it can wear on your ears. When I first fired it up during hurricane Irene I opened my garage door a bit so that the exhaust would vent outside. It was mostly inside though. It is NOT waterproof so you have to figure something out - front porch, build and enclosure or something.

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

I don't have another generator to compare it to, but it is pretty darn loud. Certainly louder than a walk-behind lawnmower.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

It's actually louder than I would like. Of course depending on it's proximity to you, I think you could definitely use it for white noise.

I do not think it is really loud, so depends on how loud you want. I think it would probably work for what you want. You might need to have it on the highest setting.

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.
