We certainly hope that you checked the furnace before posting the question here ... one would think this should not be a normal sound at all ... there is no correlation between power sources changing and the operation of the furnace. The furnace doesn't care ... it will operate with either power source, at least ond would think.

Can a 7000 watts generator power a house?
A 7000 watt generator us typically intended for 2 - 15 or 20 amp circuits at 120 volts or 1 - 30 amp circuit at 240 volts.

I'm not sure why your furnace would shut off after a power outage but first check your breaker in the breaker box to make sure it is in the on position. If this is not the problem remove the cover on furnace and look for a red reset button on the pump. Press this button and hold for a second or two and you furnace should restart. If however it shuts down again you have other problems and will need a furnace repairman.
