Any ideas for quieting a generator??
Curious if anyone has come up with a unique, easy to transport, and affordable way of quieting portable generators. Mine really are not bad. I went with 2 of the 2000w champions that I run individua...

If’s you can afford some good 6 volt batteries & solar that is as quiet as it gets…
Yep, none of that pesky noise from the air/con fan and compressor.
To the OP:
- Point the exhaust away from the trailer. This is usually where the bulk of the sound originates.
- The further you can place it from the trailer the quieter it will sound. But don't go crazy as long wiring runs can lead to voltage loss problems if you are pulling a lot of amps.
- If you are boondocking, you could set up a simple sound shield with some foam board placed between the generator and the trailer. It could be a simple single panel with some support legs though the more you surround it the better but keep plenty of room for airflow and so the exhaust isn't melting the foram.
