Description: This is a 200 kW diesel generator set used for emergency standby service for the sewer district in a suburb of Atlanta. Because it is situated in a residential area, a sound attenuated enclosure is used which limits the noise to 72 db(A) at 23 ft -- that's equivalent to a normal conversation.
