I have a question about generators I haven't seen addressed before. My wife seems intent on getting a genny " just in case" and while I don't want to spend the money I want to do it right. Meaning enough power to run the 15k AC. And QUIET! My question is if I bought 2 generators to run in parallel that are rated at, say, 55 decibels each and ran them both at the same time would the total noise level still be 55 decibels? 60 decibels? 110? (kidding). Or maybe the noise level would be the same yet twice as annoying?
Yes it will be twice as annoying!
That said, the generators are really quiet, so twice of almost nothing is still nothing. Each will be 55 Db, and the total should still be less than 57 db.
You should be fine.
