I just bought the Honda 2000. It is as quiet as can be. It also is very easy to get in and out of the trailer (or truck.) My Pace ( I just sold) had a cheaper 5000 gen on the tongue. Started first pull every time. The best hing about it was after running for 2 or three minutes someone from the next trailer over always offers to let you use their power! It was LOUD. The Honda was $866. I figure I will make up for it being a little more expensive by saving on asprin.
