By the way the three gennies I have access to are all loud. Two construction-style and one 2 stroke. But at 75 feet any of them are quiet enough, as calculated in the first posts, and at that distance are barely heard through even a single paned window. His closest neighbor is likely 200 feet away, or maybe more.
I don't antcipate any safety issues as long as it's downwind and my CO detector is fresh, which it is. The big concern at this point is the price of gas, even at $2.30/gal. But I'll just split that cost among friends. We are hoping to camp out on the new property my friend just bought :-)
I have a hard time believing that a construction generator can barely be heard at 75'; just don't buy it. We camped once at the Colorado River, boondocking, and one of our group had a construction generator. Set it up 100' away; still easily heard in our camp. Ran it most of the day (summer, running the A/C). When he turned it off in the late afternoon, campers in the next campsite over (at least 75 YARDS away, yelled out "Thank You!!".
So if your neighbors are inside, perhaps it won't bother them, but if they go outside...I'd lay odds that they will indeed hear it, and that it will indeed be annoying. IMO, a construction type generator should never be used for camping, and certainly not all night long.
that happened at nascar at Phoenix last year lol The guy had run the things for 2 days. When it ran out of gas, the whole area cheered and clapped lol
