If You've Been Looking Into A Whole-Home Generator & Want To Know How Loud They Are... We've Got The Answers!

Introduction:

At Western Oklahoma Generators, we understand the importance of peace and tranquility in your home, even during power outages. As authorized dealers of Generac generators, we prioritize not only reliability but also quiet operation to ensure your comfort. One concern among homeowners considering a whole-home generator is its noise level. In this informative blog post, we'll delve into the decibels and shed light on how loud a whole-home generator truly is.

Understanding Decibel Levels:

Decibels (dB) are the unit of measurement used to quantify sound intensity. It's essential to note that the perception of noise can vary from person to person, but understanding decibel levels provides a standardized way to evaluate sound.


  • Normal Conversation: Around 60-70 dB
  • City Traffic: Approximately 70-80 dB
  • Vacuum Cleaner: Roughly 70-80 dB
  • Quiet Office: Typically 50-60 dB



How Loud is a Whole-Home Generator?

Generac whole-home generators are designed with advanced technology to minimize noise levels while delivering reliable power. The sound produced by a generator can vary depending on factors such as its size, model, and distance from your home.

Generac standby generators are engineered for quiet operation, with noise levels ranging from 60 to 70 dB at typical operating loads. This is comparable to the sound of a normal conversation or city traffic, making it relatively unobtrusive in residential settings.


Maintaining Optimal Performance:

While Generac generators are known for their quiet operation, regular maintenance is essential to ensure they continue to operate at peak efficiency. If you notice your generator becoming louder over time, it may be a sign of maintenance issues that need to be addressed.
