Honda or Yamaha Generators; which is quietest?

Studies have shown that red generators are quieter, as long as people see the color before they hear the sound. Otherwise, there is no appreciable difference.

IMO, it's a nice change when RV campers get to hear gennies under the same conditions that tent campers do--there is no such thing as a "quiet" gasoline generator.

Plomosa is a broad expanse of desert pan with a slight tilt to it, and it doesn't surprise me that you could hear a red or blue gennie from that distance--even a "quite" one.
