how quiet is the xp4400E portable generator

I really haven't had to run it other than to make sure that it did work when it arrived. It would probably be considered to be a little noisy, but the old one I had (not duramax) was louder than this one.

It's not quite as loud as a push mower but it's not too much quieter than a push mower either.

69db I believe. It is more quite then most. Still like a lawn mower in sound. I do suggest that you change oil after a few hours of run in because I see silver specs in the oil. I am assuming parts are wearing in.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.

It is very quiet. It runs all night while we sleep. Sometimes we have to go over to the machine and check to see if is still on. Even if you should happen to hear the unit, it is a "white noise" that will help you sleep.

Generators are not what I would call quiet. Compares to a gasoline lawn mower would be accurate.

It is not THE quietest one on the block, but I can live with it. There is a fuel gauge an a shut off feature with this generator. I am very please with my generator and the ease of operation with this generator.

not as loud as a diesel or gasoline generator. let's face it, there is an engine running, it is going to make noise.

YES, to all three questions. I still like the generator. I have a large property and my neighbors are not too close so the noise does not bother anyone that much.

The power comes from an electrical outlet. It is relatively quiet. Ambient noise.

not noisy at all and no outlets to the outside. Mine only lasted about 6 months then died. So for me I would not order another one of these

Not sure what you mean by 'noise level'. You know this is not a generator, right? The only time it makes noise is when you use the compressor for air inflation. Other than that, you won't get noise complaints from neighbors if you use it to power a TV or computer.

No, this machine is whisper quiet. You'll be surprised at how little noise it makes.

It's as loud as any other portable. It's louder when the condenser is on vs just the fan. You'll get used to it though.

Extremely quiet, mine is in crawl space below kitchen and I never hear it. I have mine powered by extension cord (heavy duty).

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric.Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

I'm happy with mine. It's actually fairly quiet for a gas fired backup generator. If you vent the exhaust away from your house, it helps. I really have no idea of the db level.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

I'd say the generator is medium in engine noise; it is not a quiet running engine nor is it disturbingly loud

I got it only for emergency's so I haven't used it much. I don't think it sounds too loud, less than a small home lawnmower in idle.
