Camper says 'quiet' generator sounds like a dirt bike
Original source: The Cool Down

A camper reported that a generator advertised as 60 dB was much louder in practice, especially when running an air conditioner and microwave. Commenters noted that decibel ratings are often measured under controlled conditions and may not reflect real-world use. Inverter generators can be quieter at low loads but still exceed ratings under heavy demand.
