Try a boat builder.
They use very good isolation materials around engines.
Build a box with this material in it around the generator with a fresh air intake.
And don't forget to make a heat resistant exhaust ;-)

Thanks Cruiser Crazy,
Recently read a Member's detailed Post on "How to build an effective generator sound proofing cover", but can't refind the thread.

Bought a new Honda EU20i yesterday. Yes it's very quiet, but like most blokes I want to "accessorize" and make it even quieter just to keep the camp noise down to an absolute minimum.
