How is the noise compared to a gas chainsaw?

I am a landscaper and this chainsaw is quiet enough to use around the hotels and restaurants that I do routine maintenance for. You'll love it to prune smaller trees and clean fence rows!

Not as noisy as gas saw. It seems though, that noise and power are closely related. Not as powerful as gas saw.

Cut two fallen limbs this weekend and the only noise is from the chain rubbing against the wood. My wife could even carry on a conversation with me.

No , it isn't as good as i was hoping for the money.I installed it in a Kawasaki Teryx and the machine is fairly loud.

I can't speak specifically to riding mowers, but the sound was great while I used my gasoline push mower. I didn't have the volume maxed either, so would recommend for this use.

It is powerful so it is louder. But it is a lower sound of machine noise. Well worth the price.

NO the noise is extremely minimal.NOW-after less than a year of which it was used only 3.5 months it started to have a gas smell from within.Energy Co. CKed it and said it was a manufacturing defect.Company would not replace except with a reconditioned one which I had to pay postage on!!It also had the same problem!!!GAVE IT AWAY for scrap!SORRY,BUT,NEVER WILL I RECCOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR ITS PRODUCTS.

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric. Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

I am on my 2nd Dewalt and I find them fairly quiet no matter how old they are. Depending on the wood and blade used, the saw is more quiet than they are. I also have an Excalibur 21" and I like the Dewalt better.

I'd say the generator is medium in engine noise; it is not a quiet running engine nor is it disturbingly loud

Is like a small chainsaw at idle speed, i put autside my home, under a concrete stairs, and i listen a small "run " inside the house. But is more quiet than my neighbor ones...and those is less powerfull.

I struggle saying any gas driven engine is quiet. It would not prevent me from sleeping at night, my neighbor can hear it but I would not call it obnoxiously loud.

Not really very noisy, the noise level is the same as any other piston type compressor.

Its not overly loud, direction of exaust matters. I've used with a circular saw, no issues.

The housing on this generator dampens its noise very well. It is MUCH less noisy than a portable generator on a frame.My old Sears lawn mower is LOUDER than my Generac. It makes about the same noise as an average lawn tractor at medium RPM.

It isn't super loud but I have serious doubts about the quality. I would have in hindsight spent the extra money on either the Honda or Yamaha generator.

The only comparison I can make is to the large, regular size circular saws, which I have always found aggravatingly noisy. The DeWalt 7 1/4 didn't seem loud at all. I love this saw! I can handle it, unlike those regular sized saws.

The only sound is more power! I do not know if the sound is different than the m-18 since I only own the fuel model but I have a Makita 18-volt drill driver that sounds quieter without the winne of the higher speed fuel driver. I hope this helps. Mike

There are a few different sounds. There is a "Wood" sound. (Whatever that is) and the normal high and low pitch scewdriver noise. sounds good though and it fits with the other kits.
