I'm probably an "anti" as well but for skiing in a remote area it may be useful!
I suspect claimed dB levels are about as reliable as VW emission figures, or anybody else's for that matter. The human ear is a wierd thing. The energy of the sound doubles every 3 dB so a sound 10 dB greater has ten times the energy but the human ear coupled to our subjective brain only percieves it as twice as loud.
One way to silence a genny is dig a hole and put the genny in it. It will be remarkably quiet.
And even quieter if you bury it - but I won't suggest that, but the trick of sinking it into the ground really works. I've done it.
The loudest little engine I have ever heard was the old Army mobile welding set known as the Double Bug. It had an air-cooled flat twin and made the most phenomenal amount of noise. If you started one up it could be heard a mile or more away. Not exactly stealthy!from the above I take it you are perhaps a generator denier?

I think they were all scrapped as part of an arms deal with Russians. We destroyed our double bugs and they stopped singing Cossack songs.sounds absolutely ideal! Bet its reliable (not like that Kipor thingy).....where can I get one plse?

Thanks everyone, I will be saving for a Honda one! We definitely could do with one especially with having to stay in the same place for ski school and not being on hook up!
Yes, but you would always have to park axle deep in a lake!We had an 8 kVA diesel Genny on our boat mounted behind the main engine under the cockpit sole, when running you could hear the exhaust in the water but the engine was whisper quiet, just a soft hum even when sat in the cockpit.
If we had the room would definitely mount one permanently in the motorhome.

Sounds like the old Enfield HO2 engine. The RN had loads of them, reliable when you got them started, not too bad if you had one with electric start but a bit of a B****d to hand crank. It was also a 4 man lift as a fire pump. I'll stick to my Kipor good value, quiet and effectivesounds absolutely ideal! Bet its reliable (not like that Kipor thingy).....where can I get one plse?
