Because it is open-frame, and is not an inverter-generator, I expect that it is fairly noisy under load. But, just how noisy? (Couldn't find any listed noise spec.)
Can anyone point me in the...

Pulsar is a pretty well-known manufacturer and they also private label generators for other brands.
Also, LPG will derate the power output by about 10%.

Since this doesn't have an inverter, it could damage the sensitive electronics. If you want one for the electronics, it would be better to get one with a built in inverter.

Pretty sure all propane is a lpg, but not all lpg is propane. Meaning the lpg definition includes other gasses, but from my understanding, regular propane should be fine to use.

You thought right. Gas as in gasoline, LPG as in liquid propane gas. The "main gas line" kind of gas in your house is called NG or natural gas.
