It was said to me that you can reduce the noice of the generator by extending the exhaust and burying it into a gravel pit.

Get a UPS - if you have a laptop and run the Cable Modem / Router on the UPS and Lappy on the battery you can run both for extended periods of time. This morning I disconnected my UPS and ran the TV for the morning news for a half hour before turning off the TV

actually ...you do it by extending the exhaust into a flexible metal pipe (tube) that goes into a 55 gallon drum full of wire to break up the sound ....and the 55 gallon drum is burried sideways like a big ole muffler in a c shaped pit to further muffle the noise.

don't ask me how i know that

Had a tree take down the power lines last year. Took 25 hours to get power back. Went out after that and bought a generator and transfer station. Since then, not even a blip

E#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&....fwiw, I was reading a lot before I got the generator. Seems most people are taking those plastic small storage bins like this one and store/run them inside. Keeps them protected. Just a thought. I have a deck with that plastic corrugated (sp) sheeting under it. keeps the generator nice and dry
