I think the best time to use it would be during the very first shortages, when people would expect to hear generators going, your fuel is not going to last forever, and your fuel may well be of more use running other things,.. so use it when people expect you to use it
The second time its used will be very much later when there is no-one around to hear it,..or the chances are far less
I'm hoping water wheels, micro wind turbines, PV systems and methane systems will reduce the need for running gennies, but didnt someone say they were experimenting with running the genny exhaust pipe into a pond or stream so the exhaust noise was lost under water !!!
