If there is no solar or wind energy generation at the site, then the generator will likely be running most of the time.
Each generator has a rating that tells what the noise level will be at certain distances. You can ask the tower company to provide a specification sheet for the specific generator they intend to install. You can use this chart on common noise levels for comparison.
The key is to add language to the lease that states that the noise outside your house will not exceed ___ decibels inside the house or ____ decibels outside the house. If it does, they should be required to add extra landscape buffering or a fence to reduce the noise to acceptable levels.
You should also ensure that the lease makes them liable for any hazardous spillage from generator fuel or use.
Hope this helps.
