I have never had my Generator side by side with a Honda or Yamaha....but I can tell you that I can stand right next to my B&S and have a conversation (which seems to be the most popular measurement).
So if the Honda and Yamaha are really that much louder, God bless them. But I have my Generator sitting in the back of my truck with the tailgate up and can't hear it from the next campsite.
What I always do, is start it and walk to my neighbours and ask them "Is that generator going to bother you for a couple hours a day?" To which the response 95% of the time is "what generator".
It is a bit loud though when not in power save mode...
I should also add that where I boondock is a beach site on lake Ontario and in 5 years we have never had a need for the air conditioner.....
