Funny how when people talk about how quiet their gennys are they are talking about the sound level they hear from INSIDE their unit not the sound level to others OUTSIDE of their unit.
An inverter genny is sooo much nicer for the neighbours than the screaming demon running at full RPM while only needing to produce little power.
Want to really reduce your noise footprint? Spend the money on a large battery bank & a pure sine wave inverter/charger with the inverter genny for when a charge is needed. Solar is nice but expensive to buy a worthwhile setup that does not work well on cloudy days & does not work at all in the shade or at night.
When you use the genny is important too. Start up when others nearby start up whether you really need to or not. No harm in topping off the battery bank & maybe running power hungry things while others are making a noise.
