I don't have a sound meter, but I have owned and used both a Honda EU3000is and a Champion 2800/3100 inverter generator. The Champion is louder. But not twice as loud. It is a little louder. As I have said a ton of times on this board, if the situation dictates that the Champion is too loud, the Honda will be as well. Not that much of a difference between the two.
Depends how good your hearing is.
And not only is the sound level important but also the tone.
The facts are:
it's a inexpensive Chinese unit.
It' is designed to last about a 1/3 of the amount of time that a Honda will.
They are twice as noisy.
They cost about half of what a Honda does.
Saying a Champion is as good as a Honda or Yamaha is about the same as saying a Kubota or Mahindra is as good as a John Deere or Case-IH.
caveat emptor
