INTERESTING 'ads by Google'
About Noise Control. What product might work and what you are able to purchase is small quantities are two shades of gray. Of the few I have tried, some would waste your time to read about. The need for Noise Reduction for our gensets, portable or factory installed, is Universal. I have not heard the factory installed water cooled Honda but all other factory installed gennys are too loud to be friends with my OLD ears. Some better than others. BUT on this thread '3000w Chinese GensetS info' we are All in need of the best solution possible for sound abatement. Ideas are beginning to come the left and right. This is exciting. Prof95 started the ball rolling with the Elm 3000 project, I do believe. A lot was to be learned from those first pictures. Nay sayers posted their thoughts. I found from Brad's thread, much is to be learned from the 'nay sayers' Anyway, this is the way I see it. For the portable open frame genestS we need a PORTABLE solution. Panels that will either fold or be carried loose. Most posts from the RV user indicate the genset is carried in a pickup. However the genset is transported, it NEEDS sound reduction.

I am in the process of trying to do this very thing right now. I want my portable generator to be portable. The first thing I did was to transfer it to one of those "garden carts", you know the wagons that are used for carrying stuff in your garden much like the radio flyer wagon except with automotive style steering.
Once I get it quiet I will post some pictures of the process and materials I used to accomplish the task.
I have other things going on so I can't concentrate all my time on this one thing so be patient.
