PART 1 of a 2 PART video. Part 2 with Fan Install link is here!!! ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
sorry, seen quieter examples around with more rigid insulation facing in, absorbing the sound directly. with both inside and outside walls connected to the same frame, sound will transfer almost just as easy with or without the packing. also, it needs an air inlet for both engine inlet and engine and generator cooling air. will you also run it loaded? big difference in noise there.
Gonna overheat. No airflow.
ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
Yep! If it’s a new and good generator, carbone monoxyde concentration will shut it down…
I love your plan! Especially the parts where you make holes for the power cables and show how to ventilate the unit! Oh, wait....
+Harvey Madison I have an update video with all of that in it and I'll be uploading it next week, sorry about that.
thanks for saving me the time. lmao
ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
I like the box, but you made no provisions for air flow :/
Well, I don't think I'd run it indoors is a good idea because of carbon monoxide.
Anyway, just a hole cut in one side with a fan to pull air through to keep it cool. At least a hole for ventilation if you're in cooler climates. Myself, I live in Vegas where it's incredibly hot and I'm going to be using a fan with copper coils surrounding it with ice water from a large cooler running through the coils.I don't think you need to go to those extremes in cooler climates; just a breeze should do.
+Spaz 12 I think I'll have to take your advice and install a portable 10" fan that can plug in the generator. I'm sure it will help the box airflow. I'll probably build a larger second box to run tests and compare and come out with a quiet box update video. I do appreciate the comment and advice!
Sounds good. I will subscribe and wait for the updated video.
Thanks for the sub! I'll have an update as soon as possible.
I did not see any provision for plugging in the power cord.
Good way to quickly cook your genny.
ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
My First thought exactly, no Air Flow for Cooling.. 😒
O@@HyperJoe
It wouldn't be hard to add a fan for circulation.
@@borzik82 you would have to make a box for the fan and add a fan to the box of the fan hahah
I once had a van with a air compressor in it had the exhaust running through the floorboard. I shut the doors because it was raining and the motor just stopped because it got too hot inside. It was fine and been working since I put it in a service truck open in the back. if it gets too hot that I know of they'll just shut off the air cooled 4-stroke engines.
I made one out of doubled 2" rigid foam which easily went together in an hour. One difference was I left a large air flow space to allow for cooling of the motor. Nice video.
the way he did it it would burn up the engine and generator head in no time
Good video. Using this as a base and making mods to it. One... It's gonna be easier to put the inner panels on first I think. Two, before screwing on the external panels, lay in the insulation. That will definitely help to avoid any bunching or gaps from trying to shove it down between the panels. And lastly, as many others have said, you've definitely got to have two fans. One for air coming in and one to exhaust hot air out.
I’m anxious to see your video.
Did you ever do this? I'm going to make my own and I like your modification ideas.
I think if the genset is going to be on grass or soft ground the airflow vents could be close to the ground for absorption. I know heat rises but if max quiet is needed that would at least let air move. I have heard that on top is best and the sound goes "up" which makes sense since most people aren't right on top of the unit.
Great starter idea! I would add in and out ventilation holes. These won't have to be too large with the addition of a small electric fan powered from one of the 120 outlets. For what I will need to do I might make the box so it will fold for storage in a RV. Thanks for the upload.
I uploaded an update video on installing a fan and ports for the cords. Check it out 👊
Some interesting material ideas to consider for sure. That build would make a generator overheat and shut down in any warm weather though. Add another vent..
you need to cut a fresh air intake where the pull string is to draw in cool air to cool the engine and at the same time push off heated air off the generator, ad a exterior piece on the inlet end angled at a 45 deg angle which will deflect that sound downward. nice project, liked the double wall system.
+Max1Chase1 I've since installed a fan which has helped to cool the engine. Great idea on inlet at a 45 to deflect sound! I'll be posting an updated video soon.

What about overheating issues? I can see if it's liquid cooled you could put an external radiator on it but with air cooled I would think it would get really hot in there
How did you remove that white paint overspray from you truck mirrors and windows?
cool idea, i'd add a vent but overall great....love the music!
I did add a fan for airflow, I should have put both videos together into one video. Thanks for the comment!
Link to the second video

Thank you for a great video,
I like the simplicity of the box design and construction but if you use extruded polystyrene (XPS) backer board you will to have more space to ensure the XPS does not melt, so slightly bigger box. AND to protect the generator windings from meltdown especially when under load, you will need to provide FORCED ventilation (an exhaust fan and a fresh air inlet on the opposite end to the fan). It would be better to use a polyurethane (PU) foam backer board or ductboard if its available as the melting point of the PU foam is much higher.......
How do you plug in the cords?
Good video to get started. I watched your other video where you added a fan also. What is the temperature rating of GoBoard? I can not find it even on JM site.
Wont the motor overheat in there tho?
Nice light weight box to stop the sound, but instead of using insulation that "retards heat" (the pink stuff by Corning) use the insulation that "retards sound" (the usually brown stuff by Rockwool). This way you can at least avoid holding in the heat that the engine makes. But, there must be a way to get air flow or your engine wont last very long. Thanks
I agree with you. And instead using a flat surface inside as the plywood you used there is a sound and fire proof foam in amazon . That way the sound is absorbed instead of bounce back from flat surface.
Excellent!! Great work, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! made updates on the box, video coming soon!
Landberg Tile-Handyman-DIY, you're awesome!
that's the man awesome idea and it serves as an emergency shelter for use in bad weather Kool can't be beat
+David Steinfeld thanks man, happy you liked the video/idea!
Have already commented once (of course derogatory) somewhere down below. The "box within a box" is a standard concept and a sound one (no pun intended) in soundproofing. However, would like to add something in the making as I have some experience with the concept seeing I did similar in the walls in my woodshop to make it less noisy for my neighbors. This detail may seem small but is essential in building a "box within a box" soundproof scenario. The fasteners, in your case the screws, can not connect the outside box to the inside. Meaning the inside box can not directly touch the outside box. NOR can the same screw be used. Even though you have an air pocket between the walls you defeat the effect when the same fastener connected the two walls together. The sound will transfer through the fastener and all will be lost. There is a correct way and easily performed and can be found on the internet. Therefore, the "box within a box" is a great soundproofing concept when done correctly....not saying the video produced here is a good one but the concept has been proven.
Looks like a good base idea , better than spending a lot more for an inverter generator.
1st how is that not over heating even with them little vents and how do I get the building plans because this is amazing
foam backerboard is perfect, but its discontinued now..thanks for sharing. Id use 1/8 ply and line it with soundboard or lead/foam engine soundproofing.
Brilliant job
Thank you!
Solid concept and build.
thank you sir! there is a second follow up video on the box, check it out.
please more info on the exaust pipe how to i get 1
How much with shipping to Norcal and how soon can I expect it?
You might need two small fan installed one intake and the other is outtake that way the temperature won't get too high inside. I could be wrong, I like your video, thanks for sharing.
that generator wont last one day in there it will get so hot
Does the generator not get to hot whit out installing a fan
I'd like to know the decibel reduction-- There are many smartphone apps which will measure volume in decibels.
How do you plug anything in ?
Any danger of fire? Mine is a 4000w so I'm guessing I'll have to at least have some ventilation
good vid. good ideas. thanks
Ok we know it’s going to over heat. We know there’s no snorkel to allow air in the engine. How about building the walls on a 45 degree angle so that the sound deflects off the side walls and gets absorbed by the ground which is usually dirt or grass. Just a thought.
Wow, this is a brilliant work
How quick does it overheat?
Best sound box I've seen.
Kudo's .
you need to keep looking
Thanks
Great looking box my concern would be over heating
There is a second video with fan install etc. Here is the link:
ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
Thank you for your video. I live in Florida and will probably lose power during a hurricane. With two days of rain before and after the eye of the storm, I am concerned how the backer board holds up to that kind of rain. Any thoughts?
Yes, the Go Board is 100% waterproof. I would waterproof all the seams, penetrations and screws with a waterproof membrane or silicone. 👊 But keep in mind, it does need to breath and a vent fan should be installed.
Heat, air has to move, the foam board will.melt, as the hours wear on.
i have run exhaust on small generators under water slight
try helps or into a separate muffler
Great video, and very creative, accept for one small item... Access holes for extension cords, after all that is why you have a generator......
Yes sir, but this is part one of the box build. Part two is in the link description with air flow as well as access holes.
Good job, I'll be making one of these... One question regarding ventilation/cooling of the generator inside the box... Won't this enclosure generate too much heat?
Wow...Just ran across your channel.. Love this idea & I will be partaking in such a build...Thanks for sharing..
Thanks for the nice words!
Your really gonna do this??
I want this to cover my generator in my garage when I store it. Did you make this?
Does the generator not need more air to not overheat?
How does the generator stay cool? I don’t see any kind of exhaust fan pushing out all the hot air that it generates. What am I missing?
part 1, watch part 2 for that
Hello
Isn't the case too small?
Doesn't it heat up?
Awesome idea, and when it overheats and dies it will be super quiet then.
This is part 1 of a 2 part video, part 2 video is in the link in the description 👈
Like the box but your going to overheat the generator. Make the box bigger add a fan an air flow vents aim them up then out. direction will cancel out the sounds.
I've added a fan since, and haven't had a problem since. Thanks for watching!

Nice genny hot box! This will cook a generator.
This is part one of a two part video.
How would your plug into the outlets to power a light or tool?
This is Part 1 of a two part video. Check out Part 2
Nice vid. What if you are using a generator with a remote control. Wont the box interfere with the remotes signal?
I don' think it would. You can use it in the trailer with the generator outside right? There would be no difference with the box over the generator.
Like the idea...shouldnt we concerned about a fire, meltage? Juss asking? And will the walls of it last out in the snow/winter?
I've since added a fan to help circulate air, video here. ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
Also, the Goboard is waterproof normally used for tiled shower walls, so maybe yes it will last in the snow.
I've used the box for hours in 85+ degree weather with no problems so far, thanks!
Does the generator overheat?
How do you think this would work on a shop-vac? I want to set up an ap[apartment shop.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, please elaborate..
Yeah wtf you saying man? You wanna go commercial in a residential zone?? Lmao
I'd like to know if no air intake caused a over heating problem?
This is part 1 of a two part video
Umm no you gonna burn that generator motor up one side needs to be open for air flow
Please advise on how you keep the motor cooled using this methods.?
Watch part 2 of this video.
it will overheat. i stick mine in a 8 x 12 little shelter barn and it still gets hot as heck with the door closed. not good as you want it cool
+Gadget mall runs great now with the fan installed. I only run it a few hours at a time while camping...
Where do I get the goboard from here in Vegas Home Depot only sale it by the pallet
We get it from Lowes or a local Tile Shop
cool idea, I was just about to buy one of these things for much $$$. Tell me, how do you think sound proof foam will work?
I'm not sure how that would work, try it out and upload a video for us!
"Osculation" doesn't mean what you think it does! NICE video Thanks!!
Mass vibration in order to cut! =) Thanks for watching my video. =)
kiss my bass. . .
Also do you have all the material you use
All of the material was scrap laying around from old jobs. You can get everything from Lowe's from the Go Board, lumber, spray paint etc. The fan was purchased via amazon.
Is it okay if no air ventilation?
The generator is air cooled? Where does the air come in ? Ho long did the generator run before overheating?
I wonder how long it will run till it overheats
Hay, Einstein, what do you do about the intense heat buildup?
lol I still have the box using it with an inverter genny. I can run it for hours without problems. Not the best idea for a big boy genny like this one (old video John) didn't think it would get so much traction..
Wil it not overheat ?
very neat idea but a question
why not put the insulation in before put on the sides you have all ready made a frame to hold it in there
just a question of the day no biggie I like it swell idea
That's a great question! I should have put the insulation before the sides, it was hard to put it in afterwards!
exactly and it will be possible to press there even more insulation layers, but better would be to buy sound insulation boards + sound insulation at home depot also would be nice to put hinges lol etc to make it foldable. That would be so fun diy project for me, I don't own generator tho haha
Actually, it would be more effective if the walls were double thickness and the bare insulation faced the generator. The fiberglass would then absorb high frequency noise and the double walls would more effectively block lower frequency noise.
Creo que eso hará que el generador se recaliente, no le aplicaría eso a mi generador , saludos desde Chile
Cool video, thanks. Did you think using sound board instead of backer board on the inside?
I don't know what sound board is. I used foam backer board because I had some panels left over from a tile job. Also, the board is rigid and SUPER light
Good info. Where did u buy goboard and how much? this is the lightest and good one but i cant find it.
You can obtain GoBoard at Lowes..
Hows that over spray look on the truck?
I was waiting for someone to say something! The truck was farther away than it appears because of the Go pro wide lense. 😁
the board is fire resistant?
Along with the lack of ventilation, I question the need for high heat paint especially with all that insulation.
There is a follow up video on this box, look at the description/comment box. thanks
where do you put the plugs when the box is on?
+HeathenFPV I cut a square hole on one side with a latch to accept the plugs. I'll post an update video soon!

Good job..... But what happens when it over heats? Air flow needed...
Already took care of that, watch this update video 👊
ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
That's great but after prolonged use I don't see how you have fresh air coming in to cool your air cooled engine. You will burn your system up. Your generator also needs cooling air. When you get this fixed and can both quieten down the machine while keeping it cool and from self destructing from heat let me know.
Airflow or room to plug in
ua-cam.com/video/efmkyWbWof8/v-deo.html
No vents? I will make one just like it, but will make vents on it , good video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What do you use for ventilation?
This is part one, check out video part 2
So how this thing supply air to cool the generator?
This video is part 1 of part 2. Part 2 is in the description of this video.
Cool idea but it still sounded noisy with the box over it.
It won't get *_as_* hot, as long as he doesn't plug anything into it - which is really nice. You can make people in your neighborhood believe you're enjoying creature comforts mostly quietly, which builds the envy you're mostly interested in.
Yes! you hit the nail on the head. ;)
still using the genny quiet box and it works great!
ua-cam.com/video/Y4megRvGx1M/v-deo.html
Thank you!!
Welcome!
the box seems really small to have a hot engine running on the inside and with that muffler poking to the outside it is not that quiet this is a great video that you took this on we need to find a simple box to run these generators without pissing off The neighbors
How long do you think that would run under a heavy load 5 minutes
I run this on a good load for hours at a time. I hook it up to my travel trailer which runs AC unit, TV, etc. Video is here:
ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=Y4megRvGx1M
has any one done a db reading difference?
Did ya ever think about over heating?
Ummm no vent means blown gen and where do you run power cords ? I do see problem with venting sound will in crease dramatically unless you add louder vents with fans point vent to ground.
Update video is up, thanks for the input!

Which one is it ? I have DJI Phantom 3 pro, dying to get the Mavic though
+StarrTile phantom 3 standard, good beginner setup I guess. Wish the mavic would come down in price soon!
I started with the standard, sometimes I wish I had it...it allows pics & video straight to phone, whereas mine is 4k and you must upload to puter, then convert so puter knows what it is, grrrrrrrr !
Yeah I've been waiting on Mavic to come down and it hasn't...I may push the button soon !
