The small motors are pretty noisy even without the exhaust. <br /><br />The usual trick is to pipe the stock muffler into a home-made shoebox muffler, using EMT and hardiboard to make a muffler, and pack it with fiberglass (as is used for car repair) as a sound dampener - just like the old "glass pack" mufflers of old.<br /><br />Then build a three sided box around the generator motor, trying to shield the gen-head from heat, and make sure there is enough air-flow around the motor, and just face the noise away from where you will be.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398111375918398229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-22814774493835947332015-07-27T12:37:05.153-06:002015-07-27T12:37:05.153-06:00The generator works great and doesn't burn as ...The generator works great and doesn't burn as much gas as I thought it would. That's probably a result of low load to run the c-pap. It is very loud and I need to figure out a way to reduce noise, or I will have to go to a battery system.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-11114632678544467692015-07-27T06:52:32.448-06:002015-07-27T06:52:32.448-06:00How did your generator setup work?
