I'm speaking of a Generac that is stationary, hooked up to a propane tank that is underground. Generac also sells portable units that would be able to be heard a block away, no doubt.
Not a portable unit. Here is what Generac says:

"The sound output for Generac model #7210 (24 KW) in dB(A) at 23 ft with generator operating at normal load is 67."

This is louder than most outside HVAC units.
