=========================================

It was working fine. That's just my attempt to describe what I found
objectionable about the sound quality. 3600 to my ears sounds overly
busy, not yet chainsaw or weed whacker busy, but too busy. It's very
subjective and may not sound the same to everyone but I will probably
not buy another.

Ah, the PLEASURE of owning a Honda INVERTER genset.....

Runs 1200 RPM inside the fiberglass and steel enclosure until the load gets
to around 1800 watts, then GRADUALLY increases to its full-load-speed of
2200 RPM.............all the while feeding high frequency AC to its 3KW,
solid state inverter which puts out a rock-solid 60 Hz synthesized sinewave
to the loads, no matter what the engine is doing.....

Too bad someone doesn't use this technology in a YACHT GENSET of reasonable
price.....instead of the old 60 Hz alternator-on-a-driveshaft.

It makes no more noise than someone talking at a normal level......
