Looks like a darned nice price on the genset. Did you buy the gasoline or LP version? If you bought the gasoline version go ahead and buy the LP conversion kit now so you'll have it when the time to switch comes. LP is so much better for periodic run with out carburetor disassembly.
The sound rating is given as some distance from the genset. They are a lot louder close up, especially with the covers opened. So, here's a tip; get and keep inside the cabinet a set of clamp on hearing protector muffs. The foam in the ear type doesn't keep enough sound out. With hearing protection it won't be painful to check the status of the unit while running. Which you'll do periodically. And, if you keep the muffs with your other power tools you won't use it.
