Can anyone post the decibel rating for this generator. Thanks
1353665
It is perty quite. And a pretty generator. That is for sure.Only 300 to 450 watts though

59 dBA at 23 feet with 25% load, using an iPad app. No load with ECON mode, about 56 dBA. Not Honda quiet but close. Very acceptable considering the cost.

This little guy is very quiet. I believe that it may be LOWER than 68 decibels. I have a radio in my shop that I can listen to even when this thing is running!

It is fairly quiet, it also depends on the load, if you run at 90% of rated capacity it will be louder than running at 40%. I have ran the generator through the night and it was not bothersome at all.

This is suppose to be a quite generator but I think any generator would be to loud for camping

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

Pretty loud, Robert. I don't know the actual decibels but we definitely hear it inside the house. For convenience of operation and to have it out of sight, I permanently installed the generator under our house entrance deck but would now recommend building or buying a small, sound-insulated enclosure located it at least 50' from the house. Less risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning too. One small advantage of hearing the generator run is that I can easily tell when various electrical loads, like the fridge or furnace, come on and turn off.

states 400 watts. but probably around 300 realistically...solid little machine sound will be a bit distorted if playing at max volume(400)...if you live in Ga and would like to purchase at a discounted price I'm open to selling mines....I changed jobs and no longer have a need for it

VERY low harmonic Distortion once under a very small load of 30 + watts. Under that it has about 4%, over 30+ watts draw on the gen its almost utility grade power up to about 4800 watts than the THD gets bad in a progressive rate to over 7% in the full load with a volt drop of 7 volts from the unloaded ( under 30 watts) run voltage of 122 VAC. Never START this gen with a load of ANY KIND already on it unless your have it feeding a UPS. POKY AKA, Madashell

I don't have another generator to compare it to, but it is pretty darn loud. Certainly louder than a walk-behind lawnmower.

It is not THE quietest one on the block, but I can live with it. There is a fuel gauge an a shut off feature with this generator. I am very please with my generator and the ease of operation with this generator.

I've owned several generators not savy on decibel levels for numbers however I have a gas gen slightly higher KW 1 to 10 rating 10 as loudest 1 as quiet ,I rate gas gen 8 to 9 whereas the lp gen in question I rate at a 5 or 6, I also have a 10 KW lp generac whole house gen that is probable close to the 5 or 6 level. Just repaired for a friend a gas gen 4 KW this one you better have ear plugs a 10 plus. Hope this was helpful. You could pay thee thousand or and get a quieter unit but hardly a fair trade off comparing cost and it's LP no old gas.

Hi Charles, I haven't used the generator very much, but when I first got the generator I did check the voltage and frequency with and without load (whole house and well 1/2HP 240vac but minimum watts used) The gen held voltage and frequency very well, did not look at distortion but most brush-less generators tend to be noisy, hope that helps sorry I do not have specific numbers for you also keep in mind the exact generator could be slightly different. I wouldn't want to power sensitive electronics with this generator but for an overall portable backup generator it's great!

I haven't heard a Honda generator up close, but it is really quiet and for a few decibels difference compared to the price, I'd go with this one.

not sure of exact decibel level, but seems to be in line with any other timers i have used. i find it great really.

I have no idea about the decibel level, but I do know this is the quietest compressor I've ever owned. I'm a remodel contractor and have owned many compressors. This compressor is great, I own two of them. For a small compressor, it has a big compressor feel. Meaning, it does more work than any other small compressor I have seen. I bought the first one and knew right away to buy the second.

The housing on this generator dampens its noise very well. It is MUCH less noisy than a portable generator on a frame.My old Sears lawn mower is LOUDER than my Generac. It makes about the same noise as an average lawn tractor at medium RPM.
