How loud are the Travato 59K AC and gennie?

I've read that in the 2023 Travato, both the generator and the AC unit are very quiet. Given how noisy both of those units are in my 2018 Fuse, I'm wondering if any owners of the Travato can comment on their actual expereince. Thanks in advance.

ICE generators are noisy.
UHG (high output 2nd alternators) probably less so. I have no experience with them.
"TheFitRV" guy did some comparisons a few years ago, between LP, gas, and diesel, in older B vans. I don't think much has changed.
Search for them, on Youtube, and maybe it will give you some info.

I can only provide a comparison between our 2018 Travato and the 2020 we had. In the 2018 you couldn’t watch tv because the AC unit was so loud. In the 2020 the difference was amazing. The AC was much more quiet. As far as the generator, there wasn’t much difference if any. It was tolerable for short periods. I’m not sure I would want to listen to it if I were overnighting at a Walmart.

Travato model years 2020.5 to current have the new ultra-quiet Coleman® MACH 10 NDQ AC, which I can verify is very quiet.
model years 2021 made late in 2020 to current have the new fuel injected “quiet” Cummins generator. For first-hand info on this and many other Travato questions, I recommend you join the Travato Owners and Wannabes facebook group; it has been a lifesaver for me.

It may seem too simple and it may just not work for your situation, but I'm a firm beleiver in not taking other folks opinion too seriously if I can do my own checking. Noise is one of thsoe things that bothers different folks at different levels!
Have you noticed that barking dogs can't be heard by the dog owners?
I'm much the same with generators. I want to hear it myself.

So is it possible to drive to a dealer and listen to these? I don't deal with dealers who are afraid to let me hear things run!

Of course this is not a cure all as sounds at a dealers lot will be different than in a quiet campground but maybe give a basic idea?
