There is not much you can do. Sound deadener can help, but as was said make sure it's fireproof and make sure you don't intrude into the airspace around the generator.
In my RV the generator compartment is totally open on the bottom. So parking over pavement makes it seem a lot louder than parking over grass.
I have considered buying some sort of "egg crate foam" to lay on the ground under the generator. But there's always the risk of it getting blown around or sucked up into the generator area blocking airflow. I've also considered building some kind of foldable "dog house" that you could set up next to the RV to block in some of the sound. But that would be a pain to stow.
How about a piece of heavy carpet (that is easy to store) and that you just lay on the ground under the generator compartment? I've also noticed that the outside sound is reduced when parked on grass or dirt, so a piece of heavy carpet there should work pretty good.
