Luckily, there are many different solutions to this common problem, from quick hacks to longer-term fixes. Read on for a comprehensive guide to quieting a generator, so you can use your generator anytime without noise to stop you!
Things You Should Know
- Make quick adjustments by placing the generator on soft ground, repositioning the exhaust pipe, or moving the generator further away from you.
- Prepare for a quieter next run by getting rubber feet, plywood sound deflectors, or an acoustic enclosure box for your generator.
- For more involved fixes, replace the generator's muffler, install a silencer, or invest in a new generator (electric ones tend to be less noisy, for example).
