Yes facing the muffler at your neighbor's house will make it quieter at my house. I got 100 ft cord now I put it in my neighbor's front yard. I can't hear it at all
I adapted a small broken chest freezer, removed the compressor, added casters and cut two 4x10 duct holes in the bottom for air flow. Used a 30w duct fan for cooling air. With a 2200w inverter generator inside, tests show inside temp increase less than 20f during operation. Sure its big, but easily wheeled around, and protects the gen from weather, and can be locked up. Really, really quiet!
I've seen tons and tons of videos people putting Mufflers on a generator it actually doesn't truly work because the noise that you hearing is coming from the inside of the motor and the rattling is from all the metal parts
With these recent rolling blackouts. I bought a champion duel fuel inverter generator it is quiet compared to a typical gas generator. I also bought 2 solar power stations that I can charge in under 2 hours with the champion. The 2 solar stations would keep me running a little under 2 days. I like the idea of keeping things quiet as possible. Great video!
Quiet is very important, I agree. Question: Is a "duel-fuel" inverter generator just as quiet whether it is running on propane or gasoline? Also, does Honda make a propane generator (since I like the quietness of Hondas)? Is it difficult to store gasoline?
@@MrRickonia You can convert a honda. I do not think they make dual fuel. Propane will give you less wattage output. It's not a huge difference but it is less. Propane stores forever fuel doesn't. I have never run my generator on gas and won't because then I get into carb issues. Propane is just way less maintenance and easy to store. Hope that helps!
The easiest, cheapest and quickest way that makes the biggest difference is to run the exhaust into water. Same concept like small boats, they have no mufflers or anything they are basically like a car with short straight pipes that’s why they are loud out of the water when you start up in ur driveway but then in the water the exhaust is under water and very quite. I use a small pool made for dogs it’s about 1 ft deep, maybe 6ft wide and it folds up for storage. You could try a kiddy pool but this one is deeper and wider than any kiddy pool I’ve seen which allows the water to not get really hot. If u try it just make sure the water level is lower than the engine so there is no chance of it getting into the engine if it stalls.
Do you know that Silicon RTV can withstand 280F ? Back in college I glued together a VW Rabbit carburetor successfully using RTV. It lasted the rest of the life of the car. That hole in your manifold could be attended to with RTV.
You can use a resonator extension on the exhaust pipe and it does not effect the exhaust output flow but will reduce the noise. They are used on diesel vehicles and equipment and does not affect the exhaust flow like a muffler will.
One way to reduce noise complaints, though it won't reduce the noise itself, is to offer to throw an extension cord over your neighbor's fence during a power outage. Most people don't care about generator noise if the generator is the only thing keeping their food cold, their CPAP on, and their phones charged.
I just don't understand how a car engine can be 200-300 horsepower and be almost silent. I have a harbor freight 8750 inverter generator and it's just too loud. And I don't even think it's as loud as some of the others. When I have it running, I can't even hear myself think, it's very distracting. You make a good point about maybe adding a muffler will reduce the engines power. but I don't see how a muffler off of like a stock honda civic or something similar would reduce power, when its made for something that literally has10 times more power than a generator like the 8750watt I have. The little muffler on mine has like a 1" hole on the exit. Do you really think a 2" muffler would affect its power? I don't think it would, but I'm not really trying to experiment on my new generator, but I would copy someone else that has a tried and proven way. That muffler you showed in the video did not make it quiet enough in my opinion. It was good that you showed that but I want mine to be silent.
The engine itself is noisier than the exhaust because of the metal parts clanking together. Those small engines are pretty simple and don`t run smooth and balanced like a car engine does. If they were put together like a car engine most people couldn`t afford to buy a generator.
I built myself A Plywood Muffler Silencer for Regular Generator Champion Generator 8750 watts,7000 Running watts,I Reduced the Noise Down to 58 decibel at 15 ft from 88 decibel at close up. I will Soon Show everyone How I made it 😅😅
I witnessed a guy with the Honda 2000w, in the pacific northwest, used a wet towel draped over the exhaust. Pretty much covered the top. It was much quieter. I have the Pulsar, but haven't worked that experiment in, yet.
I use a Craftsman 4' by 2' half height resign storage shed. When I run it I leave the top lid cracked open and one of the doors cracked open and you can barely hear it inside the house or from the front of the house.
Here in Arizona I needed a larger generator (12,500 w) to run the central air. I'm thinking of insulating the overhead door and venting the exhaust out with a flex pipe. I might use a high flow fan to cool the unit if I think it needs it. Thoughts?
Look into adding a micro air soft start system to the AC into $400. It will cut 75% of the amps to start it each time. It basically pays for itself over time. It’s hardwired in.
@@darrenjohnson379I just installed an Active Controls 40amp Soft Start on my 2.5 ton AC and was able to run my system with a 5000 watt generator. Edit: I think I paid $310 total (with a 5% Labor Day discount)
i work in the oilfield and we have alot of lightplant with bigger engines in them. trust me your brain will forget that sound specially with those smaller engines so the sound really doesnt matter
I have been running my generator in the shed, with the door propped up on a foot-stool, and a fan blowing across the generator and out the door. Still considering a box so I can run less cord, and have easier access for longer-term use when the need arises 😬 As for neighbors, if they even ask about the noise, that’s my sign to make it quieter, and offer them a cord until I do.
I suggest you purchase a child house, you put insullation and an exhaust fan and you are ready to go at a little price. The biggest benefit is to avoid thief, they will not look in a child house...
My area is pretty safe. But when the power is out you can definitely tell who has one running. I have locking gates and I put my genny in the backyard. If it is raining, I put it on the front porch, but I chain it to a porch column. Good locks keep honest people honest, and they make dishonest folks work harder! LOL!
good way to overheat a generator here in florida. yeah a hurricane just ripped through here. theres a reason why its stamped stsy clear five feet from objects
you have to use the right kind of muffler FFS, they need to be low decibel ceramic coated, no issues.. your car doesn't have issues right? ceramic coated on the inside the heat dissipates .. the reality is they need to be water cooled so the engine can be sealed up save air intake and exhaust, radiator/fan .. you can't use boxes over an air cooled engine.. good grief.. have you ever heard a propane forklift inside like amazon? nope, that's right you don't hear them, even tho its internal combustion, how do they do it? welp they use a PROPER muffler, not one that has holes in it then hold a chunk of wood on the hole, dafugg was that? LAME! mufflers is how you quiet internal combustion engines, you NEED exhaust pipe to carry the heat away, at least 3 feet, and it should be heavy gauge and ceramic coated inside and out, wrap it around, or if its stationary like ina RV just run it beneath, with a couple small GOOD mufflers, you won't even be able to tell its running, JUST LIKE INDOOR PROPANE FORKLIFTS! look at how they are made and you will see
@soundproofguide, I can outline an outstanding way how to cancel perhaps upwards of 50-60 percent of that noise but you may not like it however, but it does not require using a shotgun either!! This is how the military would do it provided that the mission would require or dictate for that matter and things of this nature was done clear back in the days of Vietnam era. These principles are really quite simple but it can require upwards of about 6-8 hours worth of time and effort and a laborious but not severe OR hard to do! On the other hand, if you were to build your own box that meets or exceeds the best box out there and you budget for oh say 250 clams or less but then it's also built with portability in mind, you would also build it in such a way that you end up with a heavy duty packing crate that a wheel kit can be applied to it as well! With a generator that weighs no more than oh say 150 pounds, combined with a packing crate that still has the portability in mind that it too does not exceed yet another 150 pounds, the combined weight of 300 pounds is to be achieved overall!! Personally, I would construct a packing type crate that has a structure that has a unitized top and sides rolled into one structure that can be lifted off of the already strapped down generator to the high density PB one inch thick floor and attach four 3/8" eye bolts that are to be bolted down along with homemade steel cabling that makes up from a four point T bar hitch that has a coupling at that top for the cable sling point, just so that the hook on the boom lift, can lift from just one single point yet the cabling is anchored towards the corners of the already eye bolted cables and their cable clamps. The eyebolts bore holes being predrilled themselves needs to be bored nearly 1/2" diameter off the corners oh say 3" away from the corners on a diagonal plane from one corner to the opposite corner, since your crate and floor platform is of a rectangular design. Those eyebolts needs to have flat washers topside and bottom side of that 1" heavy duty rated high density particle board ALONG with lock washers WITHOUT fail and to be torqued down considerably with the use of a 1/2 inch long handle socket ratchet and/or with the use of a torque wrench, if you have one OR a long handle crescent wrench; for all four holes in order to preserve the integrity of the generator floor and the overall strength! Just remember that you'll be lifting a whole lot of weight. You cannot make a fatal mistake and have that kind of weight OR strength give out on you while you are trying to lift a heavy object and be in the way of it should it give out on you!!! The cabling that you also purchase should be rated to be able to take a load of at least 3 times the weight OR at least 3x 200 OR 600 pounds lifting strength also! The eyebolts as I have said should be on the order of 3/8" eyebolt threading in my mind should suffice although 1/2' threading is even better and chances are that an eyebolt of 1/2" for the thread size will more than suffice for the combined lifting of said two hundred pounds! Take another 563 clams and go and buy one of these hydraulically actuated, extension boom, lifting & articulating kit that can be bolted down onto a pickup truck bed/van/pull behind trailer bed such as a 3/4 ton truck so as to be able to do the hefty lifting and traversing the load onto the vehicle itself! This way if you had to pickup and go with it even if you are in a wicked hurry if need be, almost if not completely by one's self! These manual hydraulically operated by hand boom kit is on the average are rated for at least 300 pounds if not more, max rated and average somewhere around 563 clams the last time that I spotted one! Bare in mind, if the total weight of 300 pounds worth of valuable cargo has to be readily accessible to accommodate the lifting and loading is to be achieved! Achieved by the mere backing up of the vehicle that is to be used or by by the mere being able to take like a stake body 3/4 ton van and pull up beside it that has a low stance, OR pull behind trailer to load and off load that generator and strong box crate. I am here to tell yeah that my Sears 3/4 ton van that was equipped with such an a lift mechanism kit that could handle this kind of load and was thought of by my service manager and had them installed into our service vans just inside of the rearward two opening doors but we were not using this lift for generators but now if someone were to craft and position this kit just inside of the curbside sliding door and affix it very close to the "B" pillar and bolt it to the steel floor with the use of a good sized backing plate while from underneath the floor bed, that can be rather nice if it is to be entirely possible! Upon bolting this kit to the floor of the inside van floor, I would also make for some extra bracing that can be attached from the boom steel cylindrical tubing onward to that "B" pillar to provide some much needed high strength to accommodate that massive weight while putting it to use and NOT crumple OR warp the van's steel floor! This type of chore for most folks can be just a little bit daunting but not really hard to complete! If careful thought is put forth before just going at this willy nilly, the kit can be mounted without a very big, very big deal, just know once again that there first off may be an obstruction from underneath of that van that may not in the short term may not accommodate the immediate drilling of your hole pattern thru the floor and secondly to be able to accommodate the carefully crafted backer plate that is to be able to fit into a tight area close to if not nearly butted up to the "B" pillar to begin with and so there is much planning and measuring to make it all happen BEFORE you attempt to drill any kind of holes in the first place; PERIOD! ALSO, in the execution of planning make DAMNED sure the is NOTHING in the way of said flammable materials, no steel or plastic brake lines OR fuel lines that can be in the very close proximity or path of where you are to do ANY drilling and but of course then the project can perhaps proceed! Measure three times over to ensure that this project will go as planned!
I think he’s confusing the terms conventional vs inverter generator, vs a open frame vs enclosed frame generator. My generator is an open frame inverter, so although it’s inverter, it looks just like the yellow one he refers to as not inverter. And I’m sure there are enclosed generators that aren’t inverter, but he’d call them a inverter generator anyway
Don't see the sense in it, I know good reasons for wanting it quieter, but I personally don't care how loud it is😂 but DO want to put it IN an enclosure to avoid rain and snow on it...
Really learned nothing here. "You might try this, or maybe this." The real issue with internal combustion generators is that to reduce noise, you often have to use a solution that will cause them to overheat. They are air-cooled, and they generate carbon monoxide ( not dioxide as stated in this video ) which is lethal. They need to be in a very open space when operating. They are noisy. Real noise reduction depends on routing the exhaust system remotely and high off the ground. There are excellent RV systems to do this and they can easily be adapted to any internal combustion generator. Then all you have to deal with is getting ample cool air over the generator engine while it is in a relatively large, sound reducing enclosure. It's work, but it can be done.
The good news is that the EU7000is, luckily, is a floating neutral generator, so it can be used with simpler transfer switches, such as your "select circuit" switch, or breaker interlocks without violating the NEC's grounding and bonding provisions. (Many jobsite generators have bonded neutrals as per the OSHA rules on worksite use, but this means that they need to be used as separately derived systems. This, in turn, requires a transfer switch which switches the neutral wire over so that you don't put the two neutral-ground bonds in parallel inadvertently, which'd cause merry havoc with stray neutral currents and even GFCI tripping.)
That's NOT TRUE (NOT ACCURATE) at all! It's very common practice to connect to PROFESSIONALLY connect to the main house panel via a 120V Only Transfer Switch with a 120V Inverter Generator. I have a Champion 4650W Inverter Dual-Fuel Generator that I connect to a Reliance 6-Circuit Transfer switch to manage almost everything I needed in the house. It is not connected to any 240V circuits at all since it won' run a 240V Pool Pump or House AC but I don't need those in an emergency. It even runs the 120V Circuit for the HVAC NG Heater Fan that only needs 300W to run the Fan for the whole house heater.
First find a generator made in America or a country that puts quality first, even if it ist an American brand make sure nothings loose or vibrating they could produce annoying rattles or buzzes and used 20 W 50 oil full synthetic or 0W 40 if you’re running it in the very cold climate
I am using Hyundai hgs 3500, Using kixx 10-40 oil. What do you think is this oil good ? In our area In winter temperatur is 5C to 28C and in Summer 25C to 50C

Have you ever tried adding pipe to the exhaust into a barrel of water? Works wonderfully
no way

Are you asking about putting the generator in your garage?
If so, that's strongly discouraged because of risk of exhaust in your house.

He is just a mouthpiece for inverter generators . Onan have the best generators

so it works? it is the same from a bike?

flammable materials, no steel or plastic brake lines OR fuel lines that can be in the very close proximity or path
of where you are to do ANY drilling and but of course then the project can perhaps proceed! Measure three times
over to ensure that this project will go as planned!
I think he’s confusing the terms conventional vs inverter generator, vs a open frame vs enclosed frame generator.
My generator is an open frame inverter, so although it’s inverter, it looks just like the yellow one he refers to as not inverter.
And I’m sure there are enclosed generators that aren’t inverter, but he’d call them a inverter generator anyway
Tractor supply muffler. Avoid.
the zombie box sucks don't waste your money make your own box if you can it is cheaper to make your own box
As along as my generator works and the power is on, I am fine who cares how it sounds.
you cant even hear either generator inside the house just saying total waste of time!!
Also, don't set your generator on grass since grass is a sound conductor.
Don't see the sense in it, I know good reasons for wanting it quieter, but I personally don't care how loud it is😂 but DO want to put it IN an enclosure to avoid rain and snow on it...
Yes, I agree with your very nice comment 😊
Im sure a junk yard would let you buy a muffler for $20 or less 😂
Build ones own zombie box for less
Bro wish u wouldn't have started talking once he closed the box!
Editing is SO choppy!
Really learned nothing here. "You might try this, or maybe this." The real issue with internal combustion generators is that to reduce noise, you often have to use a solution that will cause them to overheat. They are air-cooled, and they generate carbon monoxide ( not dioxide as stated in this video ) which is lethal. They need to be in a very open space when operating. They are noisy. Real noise reduction depends on routing the exhaust system remotely and high off the ground. There are excellent RV systems to do this and they can easily be adapted to any internal combustion generator. Then all you have to deal with is getting ample cool air over the generator engine while it is in a relatively large, sound reducing enclosure. It's work, but it can be done.
Don’t forget, you can’t hook an inverter generator up to your house so don’t buy one unless you really need to.
The good news is that the EU7000is, luckily, is a floating neutral generator, so it can be used with simpler transfer switches, such as your "select circuit" switch, or breaker interlocks without violating the NEC's grounding and bonding provisions. (Many jobsite generators have bonded neutrals as per the OSHA rules on worksite use, but this means that they need to be used as separately derived systems. This, in turn, requires a transfer switch which switches the neutral wire over so that you don't put the two neutral-ground bonds in parallel inadvertently, which'd cause merry havoc with stray neutral currents and even GFCI tripping.)
That's NOT TRUE (NOT ACCURATE) at all! It's very common practice to connect to PROFESSIONALLY connect to the main house panel via a 120V Only Transfer Switch with a 120V Inverter Generator. I have a Champion 4650W Inverter Dual-Fuel Generator that I connect to a Reliance 6-Circuit Transfer switch to manage almost everything I needed in the house. It is not connected to any 240V circuits at all since it won' run a 240V Pool Pump or House AC but I don't need those in an emergency. It even runs the 120V Circuit for the HVAC NG Heater Fan that only needs 300W to run the Fan for the whole house heater.

Cant stand the noise. Solar generator is the way to go.
Not enough power
a video that didn’t need to be made. waste of life if you watch.
First find a generator made in America or a country that puts quality first, even if it ist an American brand make sure nothings loose or vibrating they could produce annoying rattles or buzzes and used 20 W 50 oil full synthetic or 0W 40 if you’re running it in the very cold climate
I am using Hyundai hgs 3500, Using kixx 10-40 oil. What do you think is this oil good ?
In our area In winter temperatur is 5C to 28C and in Summer 25C to 50C
