Sure... Probably upper 70-s to low 80-s if closer than 25ft. Everybody's hearing is different, but upper 70-s is what many consider "annoyingly loud", IIRC.
so it is noticeably quieter 63 vs 68 and cheaper than the champion?

Quieter but not cheaper. The 3500/4000 goes for less than $300 and we paid $425 for electric remote start with wheels and handle.
yep, the open-framed non-inverter Champion 3500 is at least half the cost of the Ryobi and not much louder.
for less than $579, you can get the Champion 2000w inverter generator with parallel capability. and it has a 53db noise rating.
