Ok I have a friend who was doing some work on his house involving wiring in a garage he just added, it required him to shut off his power, so he fired up a generator to run his power tools and a fan. The neighbor called the cops on a noise complaint, they refused to do anything since it was not night time or quiet hours, the neighbor went over and complained to him, telling him he called the cops and they will not do anything.
He shut off his generator and went into town to get drywall screws, he came back and found his generator pretty well destroyed, the one neighbor swore he did nothing, his other neighbor said he saw him smash it with a sledge hammer. Cops got called out there and no arrests were made but now it is going to small claims court.
Thing is we used to use his generator camping, it is not that loud, and his neighbors lawnmower is way louder. The question is does anyone here get angry over stuff like this? like running a generator when there is no power, or mowing your lawn with a loud lawnmower, or running a power saw that is loud during construction.
Me myself I can not get it, if it is not at night when I am trying to sleep, it does nothing against me, heck I have a train right behind my house that goes by like 20 times a day and shakes it like an earthquake, I have kids who play around my house screaming and yelling, but I say meh they are kids they aren't hurting anything and turn up my tv.
I have a next door neighbor who will work on cars late at night or early morning sometimes... he got complained on .. not by me.. and so he does it in the garage.. however using a grinder at midnight even in his garage is pretty loud.
He has a couple car frames in his yard along with a lot of junk.. he like the Hispanic version of Sanford & Son. If someone calls the cops on him he will act like he cant speak/understand English.

Could you have "easily" used extension cords to obtain power from the house etc instead of running a generator.
"a garage he just added" sounds like the neighbor has endured some construction / noise in the recent past.
You should be careful in the future, having a generator broken could be just the tip of the iceberg there, no ?
Wow that is rude, during the day ok, but at night it needs to cut out after a certain time, or he can switch to hand tools. Depending on local laws, usually between 8 and 10 pm starts quiet hours. During noise hours usually no cops will care unless the noise is made with the intent to annoy.
Eh, if it's during normal hours there really isn't a basis to complain unless, perhaps, a garage band practice somehow managed to assemble enough amps to be blasting 150 db at the neighborhood...
Not everyone works during the day, some have night jobs and sleep during the day. Some have small children who need to nap. The noise abatement laws vary, but they usually concern more than just hours of noise. Frequency, volume and duration.
The generator you take camping (dick move btw,others are camping to get away from that ****) may not seem loud to you. But the vibrational noise and the duration can be maddening for others. This is why most municipalities require a construction permit. These are posted and neighbors are warned the noise pollution is coming. Also makes the builder aware of the county's noise ordinances.
Actually out here camping is on army corps of engineers parks, which allow even the most obnoctious generator, so long as it is not operated during quuiet hours. The one I have is identical to his, the walmart special except mine has a muffler welded to the spark arrestor, and was not hit by a sledgehammer.
They even make quiet generators, required by national parks, which need to be at the level or quieter than a normal conversation. Also on permits, I am pretty sure he has them, but I have never heard of anyone here needing to notify anyone of construction, just that they need the permit. This is probably different in major cities, but not here.

Doesn't matter if the park allows them, taking your POS generator camping is a dick move. If you can't live without electricity and your toys, stay home. Pilgrims, just gotta take your whole civilization with you wherever you go and impose it on everyone else. :roll:
Construction permits have to be publically posted BEFORE construction begins.
Publically posted how, like here it would be on the county website, no one has to tell their neighbors here, this is not oregon, this is texas.
And no camping here is practically glamping at best, no real rugged anything, which is why I want to go to blm land in ok for real camping. Here is is a glorified drinking binge to the lake while pretending to fish. lot of people have generators, they either run portable ac for their tents during the dy or one old man I met used it to charge his cellphone, because he had used that spot for 30 years and they have no power hookup, and he had no plans of changing.
Noise and construction ordinances vary by county, not state. Go one county over and the noise ordinances are likely to be different. It's a local control thing. Typically though they follow a template, nationwide. Posting of permits is done on the property where the work is done in a public facing area of the property. Drive by a new development sometime. You'll see the permits posted out front.
