I replaced a Generac GP5500 with the Westinghouse generator. The Westinghouse GP7500E is very quiet compared to the Generac

The closer you approach it, the louder it gets. It is as noisy as gasoline-powered lawn mower. The few times I used mine, I could hear the generator in my home. The sound was not loud. And if you close your windows, the sound is even less. This generator is probably no louder than other generators of similar size. If you are expecting a "quiet" generator, this is not the one.

I'd say the generator is medium in engine noise; it is not a quiet running engine nor is it disturbingly loud

I don't have a sound gauge to test but I am about 12 feet from it now (I'm inside, the generator is outside) and all I can hear is the neighbor's gas generator 150 feet away. Everyone has said this is the quietest generator for the output -- 2400 sustained, 4800 peak.

There is a button to silence the alarm - had to use it recently when a transformer failure knocked power out for a few hours.

The cart is not loud at all :->.The generators are pretty quiet. Have mine on a back porch during outages.Nobody complains. If you were in an RV, just set it behind and you should not get any complaints compared to others.On economode, they are really quiet.

The motor is extremely quiet, just a hum. The rocks, however, can make some noise, especially big ones, but not really too much. You wouldn't want it in your living room. Mine is in my basement and I can barely hear it on the next floor. It's quieter than a window air conditioner. You can make it quieter by adding sawdust. You can also glue some inner tube inside the lid which makes it quieter and last longer.

Noise is not an issue of concern. These electric induction motors are very quiet and the pumps generate some noise but really annoying.

Yes it is. It's quiet for a home generator, but way too loud for camping. Yamaha and Honda power inverters are the quietest, but pretty expensive.

About average noise when compressor is running quiet when just the fan is running

NOPE! There is no way to turn it off! Our grandson has one that is quiet. Grandma thought she found the same thing. Not!

This is a great generator for home use during emergency power out conditions. However, this is not a generator for camping . It is way too loud for that. If you're looking for a quiet generator for camping, I believe the class of generator is called an "inverting"' style. Look it up .

Sounds like the dryer is running. Doesn't bother me much, but isn't exactly quiet

I would not get concerned about noise levels. Their all noisey to some extent. The only quiet generator is a Honda & their expensive.Noise level on Champion is acceptable. It does not charge its battery. After using the generator because of a power outage or storage in the winter, disconnect the battery wires and put a battery charger (get a charger at WalMart, trickle charge type that turns itself off) on the battery. Champion generators have excellent customer service, that means alot in the generator world. Champion is better then most if you don't have money for a Honda. Good luck!

I'm using a Hydrofarm Fan Speed Controller. About $20. Works fine. Reducing power a bit lowers the noise considerably.

It is quiet. However, the ground prong pulled out the second time I pulled it out of the receptacle. Haven't yet communicated with the seller about the problem.
