WHAT IS THE DB NOISE LEVEL
587268
It is 69 decibels and quieter than most bargain priced units i have heard,comparable to a small lawn mower. When i get in my RV with A/C on can.'t hear it running .Not objectionable at all. CAUTION!! Do not fill fuel tank all the way to the top,it will expand and flood gas everywhere and in addition to a mess, engine wont start until dries out. Learned this the hard way! Good unit! I can run everything in RV with it,A/C,TV,coffee pot,microwave.

I have no way to measure the noise level. I have a set up with the generator in an open garage connected to a circuit running to the house that will run whatever I want that won't exceed the capacity of the generator. There are generators that will run quieter but they are much more expensive.

Hi Alfred - MacBob's response is pretty much spot on. 30b is pretty much silent, your going to have a terrible time trying to locate somewhere with a reading below this level unless you are in a sound studio in which case you should probably buy a much advanced device. Anything less usually cannot be heard by the human ear very well. The cost to make a device to measure below this level would raise the price considerably. There are some out there that can read lower but you will certainly pay much more for these units.You should expect a normal "silent" room to come in at about 35-50 dba which is quite quiet.Sincerely,BAFX Products Support Hi Alfred - MacBob's response is pretty much spot on. 30b is pretty much silent, your going to have a terrible time trying to locate somewhere with a reading below this level unless you are in a sound studio in which case you should probably buy a much advanced device.

i believe that the db rating on this is 68 db @23 ft. 23' must be some sort of std. distance. For around the house, it is quite quiet. i made a sound-reducing enclosure for when I take it to a campground (main purpose).

Average of 32 db across the band. Some freq. have higher or lower db reduction.

20 db at 2 feet ... short answer buy it. You will be fine. Wife is happy ..

They say it is 68 or so dba. I have had quieter and louder. Hope that helps.

Can you hear the difference between 58 and 59 decibels? There's more to loud than db...there's also "tone". This generator is very quiet, allowing for conversation while standing next to it, even when it's running at full output. The tone is low, and there isn't any mechanical clatter like with so many others. I am quite happy with mine.

I don't know in dbs as I have no way of measuring. I have this on my car and it is loud when car is not running. When tuning I can't hear it. Hope that helps

This inverter generator has a decibel(dB) rating of 56 at no load and 65 at full load. For comparison, a 70 decibel noise level equates to 70 normal street noise or an average radio and 60 decibels equates to a normal conversation close up. This generator's decibel level at full load would fall in between those two noise ratings.by ProductExpert11May 30, 2012it has a switch for economy. LOW IDLE for smaller loads.the idle atoumaticly increases when more power is called for. running on low idle. IT IS VERY QUITE-- BUT when running at full RPM you can hear it. its not silent-But the sound it produces is a much lower tone then that of a contractors generator This inverter generator has a decibel(dB) rating of 56 at no load and 65 at full load.

I can't speak to the actual db level, however this compressor is extremely quiet. I can run it in my basement and not disturb my wife on the next floor up.

Sorry the link didn't work but here's the name for it. DB Link NF105 Reference Noise Filter

First of all dB is a measure of relative sound - for example you could say that one fan is 70dB louder than the other. It is not a measurement of actual sound level. And 19 sones is about the sound a chainsaw makes. On the other hand dBA is a measurement of sound as perceived by the human ear and thus is a measurement of sound above the threshold of the ear sensitivity. And 70dBA is equal to 8 Sones - relatively noisy. The Broan bathroom fan is 6 Sones and the Panasonic is 1.5 Sones.

We can't give you an exact decibel level, but the noise level is equivalent to a small table fan running on low, at least to us.

I just bought it for my home theater system. It registers well over a 100 db but knowing that 90-100 can damage your hearing. My system goes well below that.

there is a bar that bounces back and forth as you speak showing db levels. This item has been upgraded to LS 12 and LS 14, and the 14 has a better microphone if you are using it for music

Using a Radio Shack Sound Pressure Meter measured six feet away in a bedroom, I recorded 50 db on low speed and 58 db on high. Nice consistent low volume white noise. No resonations or rattles of any kind.

Because below 30 db is too low to be worth measuring as it would be getting close to silence. Above 90 db for extended time is what is of concern regarding potential hearing loss.
