That 2200i spec for it's noise at full power (62 dB) - an increase over that for the 2000i - is NOT insignificant!
What would have been a really outstanding engineering coup for Honda would have been if they could have kept it's maximum power level noise no greater than that for the 2000i -> 59 dB. Note that the common RV 4000 watt Onan built-in gas generator has a noise spec of around 66 dB "out in the open" as delivered .... but of course they are enclosed inside RV cabinets which can make them considerably quieter than 66 dB, as heard from the outside .... probably well below 59 dB in most RV installations.
Honda did keep it's weight about the same as the 2000i, however ... which is commendable.
