When noise level is an issue, Kato can offer sound-attenuated generators. These units have a combination of the following:

  • Air silencers

  • Acoustic panels

  • Enclosures with thicker metal and sealed joints

Per ISO standards, we measure noise as pressure in dBA. Measurements are made at three feet from the unit in a free field (without walls, which would reflect noise). 

The maximum noise level where people are working is typically 85 dBA. Kato has met this standard with 10 MW, 1800 RPM generators.
