quiet generator

[dylanwinter]

generators are noisy because of the vibration

I spotted this in another place

I myself think they are devices that should be used with extreme caution - not for the sake of safety but because of the neighbours

Not sure why hes done that, the exhaust is the noisiest thing on these little engines.

Edit:

Just thought of something, the black rubber feet on the Honda can make a mess on pristine white non slip, may be its done to avoid this ?

Neat solution!
Honda's are the quietest gennys.
Much of the noise is at lower frequencies - which has been damped down by the bungee cord.
The danger is more with where the gas bottle is stored.

That may be the case for neighbours, but perhaps onboard it is the transmitted vibration that is most noticeable?

Nope, been using 1 of these for nearly 10 years. You cant even feel it on a 25 footer. I never use it if there is anyone within 100yards.

the rated dB for that genny is 53 - 59.


Now have a look at this spreadsheet to see what that means in practical terms.

It's a lot less than the average office.

I never new that pig squeels were 100db!

You've never fed pigs then! Incredibly noisy when you've got a pen full!

I, but that will be on the slow setting, plug in a water heater and the genny speeds up and makes much more noise.

We put ours on a door mat to keep down the vibration and stop the black rubber feet marking the deck. Would never have thought about stringing it up in the rigging
