Before we moved to The Villages we had a Generac backup generator right next to the house within 10 feet of a window and you couldn't hear it when it did its weekly 5 minute test. When it ran during outages it was barely noticeable.

The sound level of a Generac LP/natural gas generator is the same sound level as that of the outdoor unit of a whole house air conditioner.
