When quiet counts, count on Honda.
M
any of today’s applications for generators require quiet operation. Whether you’re using your generator
for home backup power or taking along one of our lightweight models for a camping trip, you can count
on Honda to provide one of the quietest sources of portable power around. Thanks to the use of inherently
quiet OHV engines and quality construction, Honda EU generators boast incredibly low sound levels. The chart
below compares the noise level of Honda Generators to a variety of common sounds we’re exposed to every day.
