The Generac iQ2000 produces an estimated sound level of 62dB while the Westinghouse WH1000i comes in at about 59dB – quiet enough to stand next to and hold a conversation without trying to talk over the generator. I guess this must have been the one I was standing next to.

I'll try not to lie in the future, try!
Google is fine and all.

Here's my actual 14kw Generac that I started 20 minutes ago.

Generac 14kw - How loud? - YouTube

It's pretty loud. It's been on this pad since 2012, so I guess by that standard it's
an older one.

I would not bring that to either of our Villas although the newer one backs to a preserve so I could share the sounds with all the foxes, opossums, turtles and birds

It will be mine for about until close, which should happen mid July.
