I do my best to run only at reasonable hours.
Being considerate.

In the case of your customer, wasn't the generator
itself noisy? Would that be loud in the house?


If I recall correctly, it was an Onan genset and even though it was air
cooled, the mechanical noise was fairly low. I installed and serviced a
lot of 4 cylinder air cooled 15-20kw Onan gensets and with the critical
grade muffler, the mechanical noise is at a very low level. If I was in
the market for a home generator, I'd look for a used 20kw Onan air
cooled NG genset, with proper maintenance they run forever. ^_^
