Tips for Quieting a Noisy Generator. Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you are concerned about the noise of your generator at your off the grid home. Don’t install your generator near your home. The farther the generator is from your living quarters, the quieter your noisy generator will actually seem.

For example, looking at some of the top brands in the industry, many of the mid-to-large sized portable generators (6,500 to 14,000 Watts) range between mid-70 and mid-80 dBA. Note: When comparing labels, you may also see the sound pressure level (LwA) reported. This is a European standard for noise.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you are concerned about the noise of your generator at your off the grid home. 1  Don’t install your generator near your home. 2  Construct some type of a sound enclosure or at least a “sound deflector” for your generator. 3  Don’t install your generator on a wood floor.

Started transferring power from house to generator, one circuit at a time. The EU300is handler all the circuits and was still below 2000 w and then it was able to run in eco-mode. The EU3000is is expensive, but a Honda is by far the best equipment on the market. I'm looking for many years of service on this generator.

COMPARING LOW-NOISE GENERATORS. It is customary to measure a generator sound at 7 meters (23 feet) distance. But in general, there is no industry standard way for testing decibel ratings on portable generators. Many major manufacturers do not even list the decibels of their models.
http://portable.generatorguide.net/quiet-generators.html
Most generators are labeled with a decibel rating. For every increase in 10 decibels, the noise level is 10 times more powerful. A generator that runs at 70 decibels is ten times as loud as a generator that runs at 60 decibels. Honda generators are renowned for quiet operation. Our 4-stroke engines are inherently quiet - not to mention reliable! Quality construction and materials help to keep noise levels low.

A typical untreated portable genset may be as loud as a lawn mover. It may be acceptable for a few minutes, but not for long periods of time. It does not make sense to buy such a device if you or your neighbors won't be able to work or sleep because of it.

Generally speaking, noise levels are measured in decibels (dBA), a metric commonly listed on generator specification sheets. Noise levels can vary significantly based on generator size and the manufacturer, ranging anywhere between mid-50 and mid-80 dBA. So, how do you know exactly how loud is too loud?

how loud is a generator
A generator  is loud between mid-70 and mid-80 dBA. The loudness of a generator is between mid-70 and mid-80 A-weighted decibels.
