How Quiet is this Generator When it is Running?

It is all relative. All generators are noisy. I would rate this the same as any other propane generator that I've seen and heard.

We have the generator located outside our back door and you can hear when it comes on but now that we can run the television, it doesn't bother us!!!! I guess what I am saying is that the generator is going to sound rather loud, but then that is worth the price of having power.

the unit is quite noisy. I plan to shut it off at night if the power goes off at night, but then, there is nothing I need to power at night so why waste the fuel? The unit is 5' away from the house.

I am really sorry that I am unable to advise since we have not connected out generator as yet. Very sorry

For its size and power, it is not a loud generator. Would it be running the entire time you're there or just fired up periodically? Do you typically go to campgrounds or try to get away from all people? It would be fine at a campground, where there would be plenty of other noises. If you were going to be off by yourself somewhere, I don't know that you wouldn't find it monotonous after a while.

It is quiet, but I would suggest buying another cooling unit as this one is under powered.

Very quiet ... I'm assuming it has a little fan that runs to reduce the heat and I never hear it either.

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.

Mine is very quiet. It's idle most of the time, but makes a slight noise when it activates to do a backup.

I had found a db rating elsewhere on the web and it was comparable to similar models of this size, VERY loud. The only "quiet" generator I know of is the Honda, but they are very expensive.

We have this in our living room on a shelf and when it is on utility power, it is silent. The only time you hear it is when it is running due to utility power loss.

We run ours on low & it's in the far corner of the room, so in ours is very quiet. It depends on what speed you run it on & how far you are from it.

I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was until I seen how big the muffler was on the motor! This has been a very good generator for me and has performed as advertised.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

Yes very quietly ... A little click when it shuts off. You can't hear any noise when it's running .

Happy holidays Michael. On a scale of 1 to 10 we would say about a 5 on the noise level. We have a wrap around porch that we place it on that is roofed over since we have snowy winters here and seem to have power outages during sunny days. The noise level does not seem to interfere or disturb us. Please note that it is amplified due to the roofed over porch. On another note, this generator runs just about everything in the house with the help of a transfer switch. For the cost and size of the generator you can't beat it. Hope that helps.

when you get about 20 feet away from this generator you cant even hear it running, its very quiet and dependable.

YES, to all three questions. I still like the generator. I have a large property and my neighbors are not too close so the noise does not bother anyone that much.
