I got a generator for my mother but the noise level is very high.
(5500 watt)

Briggs and Stratton say they have no other muffler that is quieter.

I find it difficult to understand since I have seen much bigger
generators with half the decibel level.

Any ideas to make it quieter ?

Thanks,
Andy

That is all they have, but they "could" make a better one at a higher price.
They just don't want to.

I once made an engine quieter by adding a wrap of thin metal around the
muffler extending about 10" longer. Just be sure you don't add any
restrictions.
