Just as is done with smoking, you could have segregation. Generators
here quiet over there. The generator crowd will invite those less
endowed, electricity wise, over for very cold drinks with lots of ice,
and adequate or better air conditioning. Perhaps a voluntary curfew on
unnecessary noise.

We have a nice quiet engine room diesel running at 1800 RPM, with a
sound shield and water lift muffler. It's almost inaudible from off
the boat except for the chuffing of the exhaust water. We try to have
it off by 11:00PM and no one has ever complained. If they do I'll
invite them over for frozen pizza and Hagen Daz ice cream.
