How To Keep Your Portable Generator Quiet

Portable generators are a great money saver and also very convenient for those long weekends in the great outdoors. But the noises those things make can be very distracting, and let’s face it, downright obnoxious. Luckily, technology has advanced to provide us with quiet generators so we can all get the rest that each of us deserve.


Honda has recently developed many generators that are advertised as quiet. To be added to the quiet list, the generator noise load must run under 64dB. The “Whisper”, weighs in at only eighty pounds, and runs off unleaded gasoline. The generator also offers an easy turnkey starter engine. It’s best uses are for powering small portable kitchens, like those found in RV’s. Honda has run many tests on these products at tailgating events and RV parks and have had no noise issue complaints. And at only $130 dollars, you can rest easy.

Triron is another manufacturer that supplies quiet generators. Whether it be an emergency situation or the weekend camping trip, the WT1800 model makes the cut. It’s lightweight design of only forty-nine pounds produces one thousand watts of continuous power. It’s 1.2 gallon fuel tank powers the little guy for over four hours straight.

Eastern Tools & Equipment offers a 1200 watt generator, weighing in at forty-one pounds. The air-cooled engine produces less than 65dB of sound. This model is great for powering computers, as well as other small household appliances.

The Yamaha EF1000 generator runs at only 57 dB at full speed. This model weighs in at less than twenty-eight pounds, making it easy for the whole family to take advantage of. With up to twelve hours of continuous power, you’ll have plenty of time to play without the hassle of refueling.

Kipor SineMaster Invertor generators provide quiet and clean portable power for all of your needs. Ranging from generators that power a CD player all the way up to appliances, Kipor keeps it quiet and keeps the neighbors happy.

Multiquip’s Ultra Silent series produces generators with sound levels ranging from 56 to 63 dB. All of these models are engineered to have a minimum of twenty-four hours run time which means more time together for you and your family.

Even boaters need quiet generators. There’s nothing like a loud, bulky generator to ruin a great fishing trip.
Cummins Onan Marine Generators offer an innovative product line, with models ranging from four to ninety-nine kW. They are available in both gasoline and diesel versions.

Whether it be fishing or camping, with the technology today there is no reason to have a loud, overbearing generator in your way. The companies mentioned above have engineered great products to make your getaway as quiet and peaceful as possible.
