Do the inverter units run at some type of varying engine speeds according to load?
Full speed would indicate air conditioning, microwave, toaster.. high draw stuff like that. And yes, they can get loud at this usage, but that's intermittent.
Half-speed, an audible hum, might be your converter or anything around 500 watts.
Almost idle and very quiet is a TV, stereo, cell phone charging, etc. Sometimes you'll forget you're even running a generator. It's not just the engine noise, Honda has done a superb job of quieting the annoying whirr-whirr sound you hear from a standard generator - the mechanical unit that makes the electricity. That sound is gone. And that's the sound that, in my opinion, travels so far in a campground, irrespective of its db rating.
The Champion IC is likely to give you a bit more generator noise than the Honda, but they are a respected name on this board.
