You really could be on to something here, noise and pollution in the country side on a campsite not good at all. I mean sat in my tent or outside of it enjoying or trying to enjoy the piece and quiet and all you get is ratterly old diesel camper-vans in and out all day long...
Camp sites require maintenance: grass needs cutting, hedges need pruning, trees need trimming and cut back, etc. etc., all require the use of machinery of some sort.
Therefore, normal camp site traffic aside, as in car and vans arriving/leaving, there will always be some noise, even more so if the camp site is part of a working farm!
It is a way of life.
If one is after peace and quiet, perhaps a tent only site for back-packers is a better option.
As for a generator, I am unlikely to need one for camping as I always opt for a pitch with EHU.
However, I may need one for home one day for emergency back up, and this one looks like a good buy.

Good bit of kit. We go to a few sites that do not offer ehu on the tent field. We also camp all year round and are often alone in the non ehu tent field. This little beauty would come into it's own then. Especially as the solar is not very effective in the winter time.

More tentage = Campus Sherpa 4 - reproofed and still going strong
In Memorandum = Vango Quest, Khyam Chatsworth, and a frame tent OH wouldn'try!!!!
If anyone wonders what 58dB at 23 feet means -
60dB is the sound level of normal conversation at 3 feet so this machine is obviously quieter than that. What confuses some people is that the dB scale is logarithmic so using 70dB, which is the usual arbitrary comparison i.e. living room music, vacuum cleaner etc., 60dB is half as loud as 70dB which is a fairly quiet level and 50dB is one quarter as loud as 70dB.
80dB where workplace regulations can come into play is twice as loud as 70dB. Also, as a rule of thumb, sound drops 6dB with each doubling of the distance from source so theoretically if you place the genny 46 feet away (about the length of a London double decker bus), the decibel level would drop to 52dB which is roughly what moderate rain fall generates in terms of noise. Thought a comparator might be useful here.
(You may guess I have some dealings with the subject at work)
