Sir, I have seen a few videos regarding noise reduction for a power generator. Yours is the best. Greetings from Puerto Rico. Thanks for your effort and time.
Bloody good job Todd. Lots of ideas for me to work with. I was as surprised as you. That's an open genny and my one (ships next week) is a canopy/silenced but I know I will still have my work cutout. Thanks for the time to show us your new cubbyhouse!
Nice! Very well thought-out. If I were to build one, I might slope the roof slightly and add a layer of roofing felt so I could use it in the rain. I really like the addition of the cooling fan. Well done!
It was a fun project. I literally didn't know people built such things until I got that generator and was researching how to make it run quiet. Cheers and Merry Christmas Joe!
Great video and great idea to help minimize sound from a generator. I just got a generator, so I'm checking out my options soundwise and I appreciate your video. Cheers bro!!!! Oh yeah, I'm a new sub! LOL Cheers again!
I always wanted a whole-house generator but the bigger they get the more noise they make. So I found a compromise to keep things like electric pellet smokers and Christmas Tree lights on if the power goes out! UPDATE: ua-cam.com/video/CyyF9vCYcOI/v-deo.html
I watched that video on your channel. Nice job! I'll ask the same question here but did you notice any performance issues/changes after installing an automotive muffler?
@@GreenhornBBQbeer Actually all I did to the exhaust was make an extended exhaust pipe and attached it to the existing muffler. The generators exhaust is 5/8, I used 1 inch flex pipe and 1 inch galvanized pipe. We use it to run the air conditioner during the summer. Generator performs just as it did before building the enclosure.
Great video. A little advise. Make sure you exhaust goes straight out without any of it coming back in. These designs will only work if the vent and the fan is the only air moving through the box. The exhaust heat will burn out you fan motor and sooner or later cause a fire to the box itself. Think about it. If the exhaust heat didn't matter you could just let it vent inside the box and vent oit through the vent fan right? Lastly, get a straight pipe for the exhaust to go straight out. Keep the shield to protect the wood but straight galvanize or black pipe with a pipe flange will work.
Interesting! I've been eyeballing a small plastic storage shed and insulating it and debating whether just build a DIY wooden one and saving some bucks!! I think if a go the DIY route I might go a little wider and give it a plywood wood floor to make it a bit sturdier where I can add some hinges and have a flip up top and two open up doors on the front side!! Thanks man, you got me thinking now!! Getting tired of dragging my generator out of the barn to the front of the house every-time something goes nuts and we lose power around here!! I need a little small shed I can store in in on the porch near the electric panel that wont look too out of place and ugly!
With Texas and Oregon getting ice hammered and major power outages..I pulled my Generator out of shed. I like your setup on a silencer box but would not leave the exhaust pointed up where rain and snow if any might flood the inside as water and electricity are not a good match for standing in or near eachother..especially at refuel and restart times. I'm going to think about using my shed and modifying it because of noise and neighbors..and thieves. Great video bro.
Hey man, great video! We have power outages quite a bit and usually it's raining out when that happens, so i've been trying to think of a way to at least keep the generator out of the rain. Maybe i'll build a little house like this.
Good stuff brother. Been looking to do something similar, but finding that mineral board insulation is a real pain in the behind these days. The stuff is a unicorn for whatever reason now.
This is definitely one of the better designs, I like the integrated fan to keep air flow over it some of the other channels showing these boxes are just stupid
A couple of concerns I had regarding the design. Did you determine how much heat you build up over a 4-8 hr period of operation in summer temps? Also, overtime, I would think that the OSB would start to deteriorate in the elements.
I put a Honda grom muffler on my 9k champion and it cut the decibels almost in half. I'm still going to build a box for it to deflect the sound upwards.
Truly impressive! Just a thought…maybe turn your exhaust down so that rain doesn’t come in. It may muffle the sound even more when the exhaust hits the ground vs escaping upwards. None the less…awesome job!
Nice work. Very practical and efficient. At least a 60% reduction in sound output if not more. I believe you could tweak that thing get a patient mass produce make a fortune..Lol That rockwool must be some amazing stuff. God bless!
@@GreenhornBBQbeer Wow I'm in Modesto California. I could pick it up or pay for the shipping since gas is so high. What if you made the 5 sides and I drilled them together here?
Awesome video Greenhorn! Could you please show/explain how you connect the exhaust pipe through the hole? Also, the pipe you used is larger than the air exhaust outlet from the generator. I would like to learn how you connect the pipe to the outlet. Thanks,
I plan on doing a follow up video soon. It will be posted in our other channel, "3 Days Away" which will have content not so much related to food. Thanks for watching!
Good day, Sir. I'm very impressed 👏 👌. Great job, how can I get one in South Africa 🇿🇦.. I got a generator but it's loud.. I love your 📦 enclosure box. Make a plan so I get one.
That's cool and did make a difference. The neighbors would definitely notice though. During an apocalypse, I'd definitely know who's house to go hit. Maybe take that concept but find a way to get it underground?
Well done, happy to see a logically made one. It's unbelievable what others do, like styrofoam for sound dampening (facepalm) + a reflective layer to reflect the thermal radiation back to the generator... (facepalm)²
Nice video man!! Sure as hell better than most videos I saw on UA-cam so far. Only advice I would give is to make the box ‘screw-less’ and use locking hinges and something like slide panels. Good job! 👍👍
Definitely stainless if you want it standing outdoors. I would go for big hinges which have pins that you can just pull out. That makes for an easy assembly. Have you considered rerouting the exhaust with a couple of U-shape bends? I’m asking as I think a large portion of the sound comes from the exhaust and I would imagine that a good couple of bends might have sound bounce around inside it? I would even try that with PVC plumbing pipes just as a easy test before I do metal. I still have to build a box for mine and that’s what I thought of trying as a test. I’m even considering keeping the exhaust inside the box and add one decent extractor fan to pull out the fumes and one push fan directed straight at the air intake which pushes clean air from outside.
@@howlinghusky7823 Did you start on your box yet? Those are solid tips to make this even better. This video and your comments are really helpful. Going to try to tackle this myself in the future.
@@dannydeutsch279 Hi Danny. I actually haven’t yet. I have so much work to do at the moment. Busy building a massive Rosewood and Olivewood pivot entrance door, 2.3m X 1.3m. After that a big built in braai (BBQ) and then a whole new kitchen. So I have a whole truckload of wood to order and then I’ll add sheets of plywood to the order for the generator’s silencer box. As for the silencer part, I thought of it this morning. As a test I would use the PVC and let it loop in S curves like a long curled up ‘snake’. If it works, I would then do it out of metal and after it’s done, encase the whole S-curves in a extra wood box that I would fill up with Polyurethane foam spray so it would expand all around the pipes. That would also reduce both the heat and the sound. I will come comment here when I’ve built it and maybe also make a video of the build. I guess it won’t be soon though. I first have to get through that list of work.
I have considered doing this, but piping the exhaust underground with 2-3 mufflers and piping it exhaust to the edge of my property. Keeps the sound away from the house and I could have it pipe out in the really high grass to deaden even further. At that distance underground, the exhaust gasses won’t be too hot either
I have a few links to the vital components in the video description. I suppose you could double up the rock wool insulation but the box would get large.
+Durtanipz McGee Hello Durtanipz McGee, thanks for subscribing! We owe you gratitude for reaching out to us. Please tell us what you think and we promise to respond to every comment!
the engine of this thing IS force air cooled, i think i would juist get a duct onto the starter (which houses the intake for the fan) these things barely let the engine run warm enough without any baffle box around it. (i would only need it on colder, cloudy days bc in sunny weather like in your vid, i could run everything off my solar panels.
Positive pressure works better than neg pressure. Id put the fan on yiur intake side and not the exhaust side. Plus that will keep the fan itself from over heating
@@AnX8765 I am thinking of building a similar enclosure but use 2 intake vents opposite each other and use a roof fan at the top like the zombie boxes have.
you could use the exhaust to cool the inside by using the pressure to power a turbine to force fresh air inside. likely will cause slight back pressure but also will silence it a bit. like a turbo. who doesn't love turbo
Personally if you’re going to build a box like that and make a investment I would’ve gotten a little lawnmower trailer that would accommodate the size so that way the box is already built on something that could be moved and have like a ramp where you could take the generator in and out when you need to… I would figure they would probably be a another option to probably quiet down the sound even more probably with different material would probably increase the quietness and lower the decibels even more than what you have there…. Also the exhaust I think they have something that would also prevent certain fumes you can also use a quite external muffler auto e from a car maybe chicken two different car mufflers that take something like a hot rod turns into a sleeper mufffler
@@GreenhornBBQbeer That's what I figured I kept rewatching looking for nails. Thanks for the quick response. I'm currently trying to build this. Awesome design!
Just FYI. my Honda eu2000 will run my TV with internet, my fridge and freezer as well as my pellet stove.. only time it struggles is when the readers kick on
I think you would get better sound proofing,, if you brick around it, then buried it like storm/ bomb shelter . In ground or little ⛰️ with thick door. Fanned vent for cooling unit & external exhaust output. Just my thought. Don't forget genorator are air cooled. Overheating genorator = short life genorator. 👍
I like everything you did except when you showed that you have the exhaust pointing in toward the palms. I'm not talking about the damage that the heat and fumes can cause to the foliage of that planting area, but it is pretty thick, and you have a canvas(?) covering attached to the roof right near it. I'm concerned about Carbon Monoxide buildup right there, and possibly entering your house through soffit vents, cracks around doors and windows. My opinion is that the generator should be farther away from the house with the exhaust aimed away from the house.
@@jeffjules9157 I'm working on my above ground pool installation preps, as soon as I'm done with that series. Stay tuned.... and thanks for asking because it motivates me to get it done!
I would imagine you could lose one or two decibels if you replaced your insulation with egg crate foam used in sound deadening applications. One decibel reduction is huge

You need to use a sound level meter to make your points.
There are free dB meter phone apps that are accurate enough for this application.
I like everything you did except when you showed that you have the exhaust pointing in toward the palms.

Me? If I had to sure I could.
I would imagine you could lose one or two decibels if you replaced your insulation with egg crate foam used in sound deadening applications.
One decibel reduction is huge
I chose the rock wool due to its flame and moisture resistance
Looks good, use your phone and download a dB app
Yes
Pretty cool but I think some heat proof material should be added all that stuff is just fuel to a fire
The rock wool insulation I used cannot burn. Its literally made for these kinds of applications.
I have Tesla Solar Tiles and 4 Tesla batteries. No need for fuel or any of that and it was a new roof on the house that will last forever.

If you want maximum quiet. Dig a hole and put a doghouse on top of it. Install the vents and fan on the doghouse.
I have a DB meter on my phone from an app out of play store..
Why have an exhaust port when you have an exhaust fan. Shouldn't the fan do the job?
Unfortunately no. The exhaust system points straight out the left side and that just would make it too loud.
