The Honda generators are very quiet. and produce clean regulated 230/40 v A/C. Check the published noise levels under 55db is quiet enough for most operators and if you put it 20 metres away behind a sound deadner shield you probably won't hear it above normal talking level. The smaller 1KVA will run all night on 3 or 4 litres of fuel.

I use a 2.5KVA Chinese generator (60db) in a sound deadner enclosure. I personally can't hear it past 15 metres. (I need to go to it to make sure it is still running). It cost about 1/3 of the Honda gens. Has an electric start and remote control. It runs 3 or more laptops, G11, QHY10 CCD and cooler, Dewshield, TV, caravan etc and even the toaster when I want a snack. It runs all night on about 8 litres of fuel on full load. I would never go back to batteries!
