The GenTent certainly looks well-built and I like the flexibility of having the option to open different panels!
My genset is receiver-hitch mounted and about 18-20" above the ground. In a very comparable test scenario as compared to the Professor's most recent test, my much-modified genset was getting about 65-66 db loaded with a 15K BTU A/C and I saw about 3-4 dB reductions with my homemade "Sound Shroud".
Do you think I might get further dB reduction with the GenTent? I'm wondering if because my genset is much higher off the ground, that accounts for less dB reduction? I'd rather not have to dismount the genset just to lower it to the ground. If I didn't get significant further reductions, how about making heavy "curtains" to extend from the bottom of the GenTent to within a few inches of the ground?
