Everybody likes a quiet generator. You will usually find noise ratings in the spec table at the bottom of all of our product pages. However, this information may sometimes be flagged as “Unknown”. There are currently no standards set by governmental or regulatory bodies to define noise measurement conditions. While most manufacturers agree to measure noise emission at 23 feet, some may measure it at no load, at 25% load, at 50% load, with different types of fuel, etc. As a consequence of this lack of standardization, some manufacturers simply refuse to communicate the noise rating of their generators.
