Yea it is quiet compared to others of the same size. My brother in law has a champion and it is louder if that helps

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

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric. Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

I do not have the rating handy but this is not a "Honda" quiet generator. You can hear the motor running when your in your house. It fits in with the other generators in the neiborhood

I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was until I seen how big the muffler was on the motor! This has been a very good generator for me and has performed as advertised.

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.

Yes, it is quiet. It is installed in one of our motel rooms and is so quiet when I walk in I have to look at the panel to see if it is on.

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.

Noise is different to each person; however I find it to have a normal motor sound which is not that loud. I run mine in an enclosed garage, checking on it periodically.

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.

It makes a lot less noise than a typical Contractor-type generator however it makes more noise than my wife's sewing machine. Seriously when I take it camping I just set the generator up at the front of my truck and run a cord to the back of the truck and I hardly hear it.

I think that it is very quiet. I only use it to backup my system and it is not on all of the time. I have not noticed any noise.

Yes, it is very quiet. It has 3 fan speeds. I have it in a bedroom, so to make it even quieter I put a strip of heavy felt on the sill to cut down on the compressor noise.

Mine is actually very quiet. I had another model that was extremely noisy, so I am very happy with this model.

I do not think it is very noisey. In fact I have opened it up to see if it was working because it is so quiet.

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

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.
