Generator Noise Information

Generators with power outputs of under 1000 watts are suitable for powering household products and domestic power tools.
Outputs of 2000-3000 watts are most suitable for commercial uses such as outside catering and construction.
Outputs of over 4000 watts are associated with high power use, such as the emergency services or professional film sets

The chart below give a indication in the dB(A) of different noise levels so you can determine what generator would be suitable for your application
