Welcome RDM. Your going to be in the dog house soon, if you stay on this thread, with many others.:) Some call the enclosures the 'dog house' ~ Please don't get the idea I pretend there is a Sound Engineer writing this post. Yes, you will find plenty of others who have a great deal of 'know how' on the subject of sound abatement for the genny.
Here is just one idea. About $35 in cost. Size of enclosure. 28" by 24" by 20" high. Build the frame using 1"x 2" material. Just like building the framing for a stick house. Cover each piece (Ends, sides, top) with the black sound board you will find at Lowe's or Home Depot in 4'x8'x1/2" sheets. On the start assy. end, cut a 4" by 4" opening, for air intake, near the breather. On the genhead end, cut another opening for air exhaust, 4" x 12" just below the fuel tank line. Later you might get crafty and add some bafffles for the air openings, off setting the openings, they say sound hates turning corners. While operating the gen, slid the cover (top) to the left
3 to 4" inches. When cover is closed, the gen will be weather protected. Use screw eyes on each piece and tie together with bungee cords. The five pieces will be nice and light and easy to transport. Should lower the noise about 10 dBA. Cheers. your neighbors will love you.
Your report of good success with the PowerMax 4400e goes along with others who have reported the same. Good quality.
