I don't know how the person running the loud generator can stand it. Right now I have a nasty loud water pump that's going to be replaced asap. I guess it depends on your tolerance for noise.
I figure you must be more concerned with how much money you spend rather than the quality of product you get, because nobody buys a cheap loud generator because that's what they really want. That's fine, lots do that. But dang, you're gonna have to live with that noise box for a long time.
