Aloha,
How much noise does a MEP003A Make (DB???) ? I was looking at one on a government auction site and saw what looks like 2 exhause pipes sticking out. TIA

It's a great machine. Everything is super HD. Uses an Onan DJC engine, great on fuel. Now the bad news; It's noisy as hell by anybody's standards. Even with the exhaust muffled, the mechanical noise is terrific. I have several DJCs and DJEs. I keep them out behind the shop about 100 ft away and I can't hear them in the house. (I believe the neighbors can because they keep moving out of the house behind me) The gas version JC is a lot quieter but it really guzzles the fuel. You can stand it outside your house but if you have neighbors or are in the city you may have complaints. The noise is low frequency and therefore carries far and is difficult to mute. A cement block building with a solid door and a well insulated ceiling will make it tolerable to others but thats alot of needless work. I have observed an AIRMAN 10 kw diesel generator which I believe uses a Kubota engine and it was almost silent.

Aloha Raymond,
Thanks for the reply and the information about the noise. Well, so much for the noise, I have to give up on that one. Thanks again.
