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.

How can the Honda be quieter with a higher db rating?
I own a pair of Honda 2000s. My sister owns a pair of Champions. The Champions are great but no contest, the Hondas are quieter. Quieter at idle, quieter at mid load, quieter at full load. Quieter by far and noticeable. My Hondas are 15 years old and have around 500 hours on them. Anyone that says they are close in volume to the Champions is lying or deaf (in my opinion.) Again nothing against the Champions because they seem to be very reliable and good bang for the buck, but they are not quieter or even as quiet or even close to the Hondas.
That depends on how deaf the owner is. I don't believe folks go out of their way to lie. They do have a right to an opinion.
