> Sounds neat. How much noise does it make?
Not as much as my old 2 KW Kohler, which sounds like a continuous train
wreck. <G>
Seriously, not bad at all. With it running on the wooden deck just
outside the door to the laundry room/hamshack, I have no trouble talking
on the phone or holding a normal voice level conversation with someone
in the same room. At that point, I'm about 10 feet from the genset with
just the single residential wood house wall between me and the genset.
I'll have to fire it up and take my sound level meter and measure it.
To me, the noise sounds like mostly mid-frequency noise, with not a lot
of high frequency "snap" to the exhaust sound. The muffler is pretty
large for the engine size.
