One problem with generator exhaust noise is that low frequency sounds can penetrate nearly any material while high pitched sounds are easily diminished by most materials. I was in one campground where a large RV was running its gen late at night.  You could sit up in bed and the noise was not too bad...but as soon as I laid my head/ear on the mattress the low notes were impossible to sleep with.

If you are running your generator to run the air in your Pof you won't hear the generator.  Everyone without air in the campground will, but you won't.

The Pod does have a carbon monoxide detector in it that should catch any problems. However I would not trust my life to a $30.00 detector. I would place the gen set away from the pod, aim the exhaust away from the pod.
