Noisy Wind Generators

I am refitting my 30ft steel sloop for extended cruising.Need to make her self sufficient for power requirements.Will be running Raymarine autopilot,small fridge,radios,lights etc.

Recently had a vessel moor near me in port.Wind piped up in the night,and this vessels wind generator woke me.It sounded like a cessna warming up for takeoff!..Felt like taking my 12gauge and putting it out of its misery!

I am in the market to buy one..a QUIET and reliable unit..Any input from your wide experience appreciated..Also best batterys? Golf cart? Also best solar back-up.

Should the batterys be isolated from cranking batterys?

Thanks for your input..Fair winds..BILL
