Well, when I go outside and listen to my running Onan generator or Honda suitcase generator - they don't in the least bother me as compared to:
1) Contractor grade RV generators hundreds of feet away.
OR
2) Honda RV portable inverters when they are rev'd up supplying their full load (~59 dB sound level).
OR
3) Idling TT/5'er diesel tow vehicles.
My little Honda suitcase genny runs at ~54 dB sound level all the time and produces only a low-frequency humming sound at that.
Also, I really don't understand why anyone is bothered by the sound of fully enclosed built-in gas/diesel generators that are run a few hours here and there.
The couple that we travel and drycamp with do not have a generator for their TT, and they REALLY appreciate coming into our RV with it's built-in generator (along with their dog) for some A/C comfort in hot weather. We would never own an RV without a well installed genny on board for A/C, a microwave or convection oven, and no-sun/low-sun time periods.
