ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS — dB(A)
Comparison Chart dB(A)
Figure 2 below provides a comparison of dB(A) levels for daily noises and the typical range of generator sets. Open generator sets are unhoused units where the path of noise is unobstructed. An acoustic housing encloses the genset to impede and absorb the path of noise.
For applications that require even quieter operation, see the WhisperWatt™ product line for dB(A) levels as low as 62. If quieter levels are required, please contact an MQ Power dealer.
