Generator dB rating
Is there anywhere that shows a comparison of the quietest generators and their dB rating? I want Honda quiet, but not with Honda money.

I don't know what you mean by "Honda Quiet". Since Honda doesn't make a 3500 W generator, there is nothing to compare it to. So how many dB's do you consider to be "Honda Quiet"?
Secondly, are you looking for 3500 W surge or continuous?
At least for me, It's hard to be helpful when the parameters seem to be rather vague.
I'd also like to mention, that i thought dB measurenments for portable generators was always at 7 meters, at 1/4 load. That's the only dB ratings i ever recall seeing.
What I want is 30A available at all times. That is the rating of my trailer. So, as I understand that works out to be about 3500-3800W
Even at full load, the smaller 3000W ones seem to be quiet in comparison to most others.
The db rating for the Honda 3000 is pretty good.
