Noisy <span class="highlight">Generator</span>

How about making a box large enough to take the genny with enough room around it to allow airflow and cut a few air vents in it. Line the box with sound absorbing material. This is available from companies that specialize in noise suppression technology.You would need to make provision for the exhaust to exit the box.

Here's a good site...

What about a bit of stainless steel pipe from the exhaust to a bucket of water, wouldn't make much noise then.

Whinging about a noisey generator, that's priceless, now you know how the other campers feel like..............toss it in the river!!!!!!

G'day OREJAP, to muffle my 1 kva generator I have lined four suitably sized sheets of 3 ply with the the styrene foam sheeting the generator was shipped in. The exhaust end is left uncovered but pointing away from habitation and the panels leant against the generator frame with one on top. The next refinement is to make a folding flat pack of the muffler box by connecting the panels with short lengths of leather or seatbelt webbing. Happy Days, Farmboywa.

Ear muffs !!!

inlet air noise is as big a problem as exhaust noise. If you check Yamaha and Honda small generators you will see how much trouble they go to silence air inlet noise.
If your cheap Chinese generator was a copy it would be quiet.
