Generator quieting
I have a Honda 3000 EM, I am looking for some ideas to quiet it down. Anyone had success with this, want to share some ideas?

I have looked at your pictures several times and appreciate the temperatures you gave me in another thread.
I am experimenting with duct board doing this and it just about has me beat trying to shape it around the exhaust area and am thinking about Soundown for that area.
It appears that you put a 1/2 inch plywood divider there with the soundown facing the genset as a gasket, is that correct?
Thanks Jim
Jim:
The plywood is 3/16" which allows it to bend and conform to the curve on the exhaust outlet bezel.
Yes, the Soundown is what creates a gasket like seal between the plywood and exhaust end of the EU2000i.
Just got back from a dry camping trip and had the neighbor ask if he could take photos of my sound deadening box. He had a Honda Genset just like mine and you could hear his in my campsite louder than mine.
Thanks for the response, I misread your material list and came up with 1/2". When I look at pictures it is obviously not 1/2". The 3/16" is perfect for this application.
I gave up trying to form the duct board around the exhaust and ordered the 1/2" Soundown yesterday.
