I've heard the Generacs are not quiet.Quote:

You've been to my pits when my genny is running, Mine is a Gencerac 4000EXL, It's a older industrial one before they got bought out by Briggs & Stratton. It's definitely much louder than a inverter type Honda or Yamaha but not as loud as one of the cheap coleman ones.. Mine has a large square muffler about 6"X8".. Inside the trailer you can barely hear it when the muffler is pointed away from the trailer.. I wouldn't run it all night if anyone is near.Quote:

Loud generators can be annoying. The people who have the loud ones don't think so because they run the 100 foot cord right next to your pit area! Totally uncool but it happens and usually mentioning this to the offender fixes the situation. Sometimes I can't even hear my EU2000 if a loud one is running near by.
And if camping out, don't event think about running a genny at night.
