Generator Sound Shield

[sailing320]

Does anyone know where I can have a generator sound shield made? I currently have a blanket over my generator and it is still loud. I'm looking for something that is sound proof!

Sailors Solutions has a couple of things that may work. www.sailorssolutions.com

not sure if it will work for you, but when we go camping we have a small "box" made out of the thick foam insulation you can pick up at home depot, dont want to make it too air tight, air flow is always good

suggest lining the compartment with lead foil-backed foam. you could google
for products. the air intake manifold is also a source of noise. but putting a blanket on the beast is probably going to hurt the cooling of the engine. the
compartment needs to be ventilated to the outside. the supplier of the unit
may have some good ideas.

There are several products made for lining the engine compartment to reduce the sound levels that get out... any one of these would probably work quite well for your generator compartment.
