How loud is the generator?
A. The air cooled generators are all about 70dbs (comparable to a commercial lawn mower) at 20 feet. What does this mean? It means you can have a regular conversation between two people standing next to a running air cooled generator. Remember, Guardian has been manufacturing generators for 40 years; they are designed for residential neighborhoods. The new Elite and QuietSource liquid cooled generators are much quieter than the standard models. If noise is an issue, take a look at the QuietSource 11KW, 15KW, 20KW, 25KW, 30KW and 40KW models.
