Generator Noise Level Calculator (dB)
Generator noise ratings are usually given at a specific distance, but you might be standing farther away in real use.
This calculator uses a basic sound drop-off estimate to show how noise in dB might change with distance.
Generator noise at distance
Estimate how generator noise level in dB changes as you move farther away from the unit.
Many generators list noise at 20 or 23 feet.
For more planning tools, you can also use the other calculators and guides on the GeneratorCalc home page.
