                    Q:Is this unit a hard start or a soft start? Thank you.

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  Hello - The decibel rating for this unit is 56 at the lowest and the highest is 59 dbA. What sounds “quiet” and what sounds “loud” is very subjective and can vary widely from one consumer to the next. We sometimes receive consumer feedback on the same air conditioner model where one says it is quiet and another says it is loud. We hope this information is helpful. Thanks for taking the time to reach out. All the best! -Don@GEA

                      A:  That is not a answer to the question. How loud it is was not asked. Need to know if it is what they refer to as hard start or soft start. That is so you can choose correct generator.
