3. The idling Ford V10 engine with it's stock exhaust system can barely be heard 30 feet away (i.e. the blowing wind is louder), and can't be heard or felt from inside our motorhome.
Other drycampers close enough to be bothered by either 1. or 3. above, are probably too close for us too (for other reasons). When drycamping in general, or certainly for drycamping in the boondocks, our preference is to not only not hear other camper's talking/laughing or children or dogs - but to not see them either.
If we add portable solar someday, it will be for low-level charging to back up the little Honda ... not for reduced noise.

I would say 1, 2 or 3!
