I have a pair of the Champion 2000s and a Honda 3000EU. The champions are very subdued and not even noticable to me after the initial startup. The Honda on eco mode may even be a bit quieter. The Champions were $1050 for the pair with the parallel kit; the Honda lists about 2k new.

Before you at least a million have tried to quiet those down, including yours truly. Go get a Honda, best advice I can offer. My friends at JPL spent many hours and cases of beer and hardly made a dent in the noise envelope.

Thanks to everyone else!

Please don't take this a an attack or rant. IMO Isn't it better to more info than less? I'd rather have info overload than not enough. Maybe just me. Sometimes I do a search and can't find what I'm looking for maybe the search words I'm using. I enjoy others input on threads or searches or whatever they post. I look at it as more input to me the better my results are going to be. Always thankful for more info from anybody. Doesn't mean that I agree with the info posted, just more info that I have to help with my problem. Again Not attacking you. But sometimes older threads have better info than current threads and are more useful or might have different point of view. IMO

If you must take it with you, I've been told that a raw potato shoved into the exhaust pipe will quiet it down substantially.

Eddie Murphy told me a banana in the tailpipe works even better...

Anyone have a link or picture of a silencing tent?

Get an extremely long extension cord and then leave the generator at home and run the cord to the campsite. :B
