Generator that won't break the bank..
Is there anything in the $500 range that has a respectable decibel level?

I agree with rbpru, pretty much any generator is going to be noisy.
Absolutely true ... a generator - any generator - is a mechanical device and it's going to make noise when running. There's no such thing as a truly "quiet" genset no matter what the manufacturers may claim. :R
I think most campers are understandable of generators that have a reasonable DB level. It's one of the necessary evils when there's no hookups.
Not necessarily ... with the right approach one can successfully construct a generator quiet box that will dramatically reduce the noise, to the point where it truly is difficult to tell from as little as 20' away that it's even running. Proof is in the (video) pudding, when I built my own Honda EU2000i Quiet Box ... problem is, not many would bother and simply run their own "quiet" genset in open air where it can easily be heard by other campers. :M
