Have to chuckle ... we've been in a park with full hookups for the past two weeks - the guy next to us is waxing his camper -- with the electric polisher whine on high - for hours at a time. I swear my Honda generator is MUCH quieter. Ugh!
My wife and I drove through a local COE camp ground yesterday evening that features full hookups so, no need for generator noise.
But, Every RV had air conditioners running full blast along with several radio's or outside television's going and people talking and laughing, Kids playing,several large fans set up outside, etc.
I don't think an inverter generator of any color would have been very noticeable if someone had decided to fire theirs up for some odd reason.
Luckily in my area the few camp grounds that don't offer electrical service have the campsites far enough apart that you can't hear an inverter generator from one site to the next. You're much more likely to hear a radio turned up too loud or folks yelling at the dog or the kids, or the guy that fires up a open frame construction type or onboard Onan generator.
These "primitive" campgrounds are generally much quieter than the full hookup areas.
I feel bad for the people that have to boondock in CG's that have the sites wedged too close together to escape the noise from the adjoining site.
