I tested some automotive mufflers on my Onan 4K and even when the exhaust note was cut way down, the mechanical noise was still significant.
When you are dealing with a multi piston, large generators (4K+) there is just a lot of noise. I am debating on buying a small 2K just to run my refrigerator and small appliances. I still appreciate having a nice big genny to run my A/C, but a smaller and quieter backup that burns less gas really does sound appealing.
