Unless it's a Yamaha, the answer is NO.

Go to the Honda web site and look up the noise level in DBs. Compare that to your generator.

So what kind is it? Is it the one that you have listed in your signature? It sounds a lot louder then a Honda. But its kind of hard to tll from a vid clip.

If it's listed in the Yellow Pages, the government shouldn't be messing around with it.

It does sound louder than a Honda and a Yamaha, though it is hard to tell. I did notice that the genny in the OP's link had much more engine noise than a Honda or Yamaha IMO.

Much louder, but maybe not fair since that was in a reflective environment with all those hard walls around.
