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.
To run a furnace during a power outage, you should use a generator that can handle the wattage requirements of your furnace. It is recommended to use a generator with a minimum wattage capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 watts for most residential furnaces. It is important to check the specific wattage requirements of your furnace and choose a generator that can provide enough power to run it effectively.
The generator switch panel automatically detects a power outage and switches the power supply from the main grid to the backup generator. This ensures that essential appliances and devices continue to receive power until the main grid is restored.
A transfer switch is important in a generator installation because it safely switches the power source from the utility grid to the generator during a power outage. This prevents backfeeding, which can be dangerous for utility workers and protects your generator from damage.
A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?
Having a generator for home power outage can help keep your family comfortable during a power outage. To determine the size of a generator, make a list of the minimum appliances you want to run off the generator. Next, make a list of the devices you'd like to run. You may have to alternate running some appliances such as the vacuum, computer and television for a smaller generator.
A backfeeding generator is connected directly to a home's electrical panel using a transfer switch. When there is a power outage, the generator automatically starts and sends electricity to the home through the panel, providing power to essential appliances and devices.
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. When you say, "power a house," if you mean the whole house the answer is, No. You would need a generator capable of supplying a continuous 24000 watts or more to do that. But a 7000 watt generator is a nice one for powering some lights and your gas furnace blower during a power outage when properly connected. I do not know what the wattage is of an electric furnace to know if it can run one of those.
One way to obtain instant electricity during a power outage is to use a portable generator. Make sure to follow safety guidelines and have enough fuel on hand to keep the generator running.

The generator panel switch is used to transfer power from the main electrical grid to a backup generator during a power outage. It functions by detecting when the main power supply fails and automatically switching the electrical load to the generator. This ensures that essential appliances and systems continue to receive power, maintaining functionality during an outage.
A backfeed generator works by connecting directly to a home's electrical system through a transfer switch. When there is a power outage, the generator automatically starts and provides electricity to the home, allowing essential appliances and lights to function until the main power is restored.
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.
