Needing to run a genset for a few warm afternoon hours is a whole lot different than needing it all night or 24/7.

Having a ton of room, materials and tools, I made a sound enclosure for my Yamaha 5500 ESD. 3/4" plywood, 4" foam, baffles. Not even Juanito (age 10) could hear it running from a distance of 3 meters. His dad insisted on getting all the used oil from changes. He mixed it 50/50 with diesel and painted fence posts (heart of palm) ends buried in the ground. At .15 gallon US what a racket I had. Now it's three dollars a gallon and change down here.
