Nobody likes unecessary or thoughtless noise from a genny.
With an inverter & decent sized battery bank nobody needs to be running a genny all night unless it is very hot, in which case maybe they should have gone to a CG & plugged in. The difference between cost of gas burned & CG fees would not be great. The appreciation of silence from non genny running neighbours, priceless.
Nobody wants to listen to the always high reving screamin demons that most of the built ins are.
Consideration for others is not difficult. Not running during traditional quiet hours, no matter where you are, is always appreciated. In busy dry camping areas around mealtimes it is "Gentlemen, start your gennys". Gotta have that electric coffeemaker & that microwave. Well, some do.
Once the battery bank is topped off there is no need to be running a genny all day. Most like peace & quiet however if at the NASCAR track who is going to notice the genny?
