Eric, I spent a few years in the movie industry as a gaffer/lighting
director - MQ was always the choice and if you didn't know where they parked
the genny you couldn't find it by the noise it made.....

David,   We have two customers using MQ Multiquip Whisperwatt diesels 
with no problems.  One is a 7KW and the other a 15KW.  All their 
generators come in sound attenuated steel enclosures.  These generators 
are designed to run 24-7 for years on end with only regular 
maintenance.  They are also available with fuel cell trailers for long 
run times, or they can have external storage tanks, as with any 
generator.  The manufactures one year guarantee warrants the use of 
boidiesel.
