Noise pollution which is an unwanted sound is one of the most dangerous
environmental pollution because it usually leads to damage of auditory and even leads to stress
for human in most cases. This research work investigate environmental noise produce by fuelless
power generating set and gasoline power generating set of the same capacity (1KVA). The
materials used for this research work includes, 1KVA Gasoline Generating set, 1KVA Fuelless
Generating set, Extech sound meter, meter rule, load box, multimeter and stop watch. Extech
Instrument Sound Level Meter and meter rule was used to determine the sound performance of
the electrical machines. The result of the research revealed that the sound performance analysis
for fuelless Power generating set is within the allowable range set (38.4dB) by Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Federal Safety regulations (2007) compared to
gasoline power generating set with 66.5dB. In wrapping up the investigation on the fuelless and
gasoline generating set in terms of noise assessment, the analysis has clearly revealed that
fuelless generating set noise is better than gasoline power generator of the same capacity.
