With portable generators, the higher the price the quieter the unit.
For $500 to $700 you can buy a 5,000-watt genearator that will do the job, but they have a noisy Briggs&Stratton or Tecumseh engine and are obnoxiously loud. They sell a $100 muffler kit for those, but the muffler still doesn't make it very quiet. Been there, done that.
The good ones - Honda, Yahama, and Onan - are probably going to cost over $2,000. But they'll last a long time, very efficient on fuel useage, and quite. In the long run, you'll be much happier you spent the extra money for the quiet generator.
Note that Honda and Yahama also make some models that are not very quiet, so reasearh it before you buy.
