I don't have one personally but our family home has a Denyo diesel silent type (reconditioned). The silence is pretty much worth it compared to the old noise-maker gasoline Yamaha it replaced. We don't bother our neighbors as when there's a power-outage, it is much more quiet in the neighborhood and a noisy generator can be quite bothersome to them (nakaka-guilty gamitin minsan pag sobrang maingay). Next, it also does't bother you at home (stressful din sa atmosphere ng bahay pag may maingay na generator).

You also have to choose a location that is away from your neighbors as much as possible because there still will be noise (depending on the size of the genset) an we also had to work on the foundation of where we placed it (high ground, away from trees, close to the garage). In our case we also shut it down after 10pm as much as possible (after cooling up the rooms and refrigerator) although in the summer, it will run until the wee hours of the morning.
