This is really the same old discussion.
Should the OP by a quiet inverter type genset. Or should he take the savings and potentially annoy those around him. Really the answer is simple.

A few decide to take the savings at the expense of the tranquility of those around them.
All gensets are not created equal, some are considerably louder than others.
If potentially annoying others doesn't bother you get the louder cheaper model.
If you want to be a good neighbor,even in a Wal-Mart get a quiet inverter model.
Once upon a time inverter models were significantly more costly. However Champion has changed the game and introduced reliable, reasonably priced inverter models
