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 will below 59 dB in most RV installations.
Honda did keep it's weight about the same as the 2000i, however ... which is commendable.
It makes me wonder if maybe it's the same basic generator as the 2000i, just with modified control circuitry (and maybe an improved inverter) so that it will output more power, of course running the engine at a higher speed when it does so. If that's the case, then it should be about the same loudness at equal loads.
