Default Propane Tanks and Generators

I can only speak from my experience in Maine and New Hampshire. Had a Generac propane generator installed in Maine about 7 years ago, was placed on a pad within a foot of the house. Required to be 10 feet from a window. we had 3 100 gal. tanks, no regulations on how far from the house. They are right against the back of the house. When we moved to New Hampshire last summer (2022) we had a Generac propane installed there. Same regulations, all local and state approved. That was connected to an under ground tank located further away. Not sure on the distance. But it's larger so probably much further away.
As far as noise goes, when you need them, noise is not an issue. Those complaining probably wished they had one. Remember, many people in TV are on some type of medical support, and can't be without electricity. I believe every house should have one.
