Richard,

My generator is mounted on air bags. If I remember correctly there are 4, one on each corner. When the generator is running you can feel it from the driver's/passenger seat.
It's not excessively noisey, but you can hear it running.

The Prevosts have their generators mounted in the middle of the bus and you are correct they are very quiet. They use a good deal of sound deadening material. Prevosts install the generator radiator in a separate bay from the generator engine. I don't know if that reduces the noise in some way, but it might!

If I remember correctly my 1993 Newell had air bags on the generator. I am surprised that your 1995 doesn't have the air bags. That's odd.
