Silent generators

Here in Cape Town, you can buy direct from manufactorer:

FRL Acoustic Foam - - Cape Town Rubber

A flexible polyurethane foam containing a flame retardant additive to reduce ease of ignition and is ideally suited for sound absorption due to its density of 30 kg/m3. This absorption co efficient is increased tremendously when foam is convoluted.

I bought my PVC tiles from them.

Seems good, but I don't like hunting for a price.

If you want silent you looking for inverter genny but they gonna cost you.

My 2600W inverter generator seems noisy. It says 96dB on the box but I have no way of testing it.

Sound Meter – Apps on Google Play

Measure the environmental noise by tidy sound meter

play.google.com

Not 100% but its a start

DB is normally measured 1M away from source.

Edit: Nevamind I see it maxes at 88db in the comments?

My Powermaster 2,2KW inverter genny specs say 60dB, but I haven't tested that value yet.

I have the same Honda that ChrisC posted. (EU 30IS)
Can run it in a complex without worries re noise.
If you doing a toss up of genny vrs inverter setup i would rather stick that money toward house inverter + lithium battery bank as the silent genny's aren't what you would call cheap.
