Honda EU2000i generator

Well... my view on generators has evolved over time:

I've got a Hyundai HY2000si, which, like the Honda, is very quiet in operation.  My Hyundai produces a bit more power tho (2200 watts peak, 2000 watts sustained) vs the Honda (2000 watts peak, 1600 watts sustained).  With the generator running the A/C, my Hyundai is only 59 db.

In my driveway, with normal city background noise, 59db is perfectly acceptable - quiet, almost.  However, in the quiet of the wilderness, I find it way too loud for sustained use.  Running the generator for an hour in the afternoon to recharge the battery is one thing; and without the A/C, its only 54db.  But letting the generator run to power the A/C for 4 or 5 hours through dinner and into the evening is another thing altogether.  It really starts to grate on my nerves and I'm sure it annoys the neighbours.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to use the generator for A/C, and I'm considering purchasing the smaller, lighter Hyundai HY1000si for battery-recharging only purposes.  For those times when its so hot and humid that A/C is necessary, we'll be heading to a campground equipped with electricity.
