Is this generator too loud for camping?

I wouldn't want to be camping anywhere near you. It is quiet for its size but.....

For its size and power, it is not a loud generator. Would it be running the entire time you're there or just fired up periodically? Do you typically go to campgrounds or try to get away from all people? It would be fine at a campground, where there would be plenty of other noises. If you were going to be off by yourself somewhere, I don't know that you wouldn't find it monotonous after a while.

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

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 .

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.

It is pretty quiet compared to other generators that I have used but I would not recommend it for camping. anything this size i wouldn't take camping.. you would probably want to take a smaller unit just to run a couple things. I would recommend the Honda 2000.

It is kind of noisy. I have it cooling a 4 wheeler. When going slow you can hear it pretty good. For a greenhouse you might find it too loud.

Louder than a residential lawn mower--probably less than a portable generator since they do have some housing around them to buffer the sound.

A bit louder than a Honda generator. I ran it on the side of my house and was able to watch TV about 25 feet away in my house with no problems. My house is well insulated and has newer windows. That may be a factor also. Thought originally I would have to build a sound barrier but didn't need to. Only heard a hum.

I can't give a scientific answer nor compare it to other similar products. I do know it is very quiet and I don't feel guilty operating it in an otherwise quiet campground. It powers my entire trailer including my air conditioner. It is very much quieter than any other generator I've heard operating including those mounted inside expensive motor homes.

The sound quality is pretty good. Everyone around you should be able to hear it within your campsite. I can hear it from across my house with no problem.

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.

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.

Happy holidays Michael. On a scale of 1 to 10 we would say about a 5 on the noise level. We have a wrap around porch that we place it on that is roofed over since we have snowy winters here and seem to have power outages during sunny days. The noise level does not seem to interfere or disturb us. Please note that it is amplified due to the roofed over porch. On another note, this generator runs just about everything in the house with the help of a transfer switch. For the cost and size of the generator you can't beat it. Hope that helps.

It is a little louder than the Honda generator. I have a fifth wheel and I put the generator behind it when it is running in the ECO mode you can still hear it just a little the Honda you can not. As I said in my full review it just is not reliable. I have it and the Honda the only time I use it is when watching tv at night so I can use the remote to shut it off so I can keep my lazy butt in bed. The remote will not start it it has some kind of ongoing choke problem

I have a 23 ft travel trailer. Mine will bog down when I first turn on the AC unit, but will come back up after about a minute. I use mine in campgrounds and haven't heard any complaints. It's quieter than a lawn mower, but quite a bit louder than one of the RV style generators.

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.

Hi I did not finish installing the generator so I don't know how loud it is. When I go back to Florida this fall I will finish installing it and hope it runs quite.Sorry I can't help you. I can tell you it seems to be well made.

It's not silent. It just means that it is much quieter than gas powered generators. You do want to keep it a safe distance from a window or door not to hear it at all.

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