2 - 2000 watt vs 1 - 3000 watt noise level
So I'm looking at purchasing either 2 2000 watt Honda or Yamaha or 1 3000 watt Champion. I chose the 300 watt Champion for the good reviews AND the overall height. It is the only 3,000 I can find th...

I've heard both combinations at the race tracks. The 2 2000 Hondas are just a bit louder than the 3000, but only under load. Assuming you have 2 of them on purpose because you need the extra wattage, they will be under load though. They really spool up if you start an AC - I've seen them start a 13.5 AC but not a 15.5. However if not running towards full capacity they will be a lot quieter than the 3000 Champion and they also have variable throttle where I believe the Champion does not.
The quietest I've ever heard (and owned) is the Honda EU3000iS at 49db to 58db. That one might not fit under your bed cover though - mine was just a tad too large to fit under my BakFlip Fibermax cover on a 2012 F350. Mine would start either a 13.5 or 15.5 AC (not both at the same time though). It is relatively quiet even when running the AC.
Big price difference between the Honda and Champions though.
I applaud you on being sound-conscious with your generator. At the tracks we run into a lot of people who have what we call the "chainsaw" gennys that drive you nuts. :)
