Matt, you reinforced my point of not being able to walk into a Walmart, Sears or Best Buy and pick one up off the shelf. 
There is no disputing that a Modified Sine Wave Inverter is very NOISY! 
And! A great majority of people buys the Modified Sine Inverters because they are cheaper, and easier to obtain.
Also, the average guy doesn't even have the slightest idea of noise that is emitted from these beasts.

((((73)))) Milverton.
