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

Cheap air-cooled generators make lots of noise. The better ones have more
cylinders and sound attenuated enclosures. The best ones are water cooled,
very heavy and have sound attenuated enclosures. The more you pay, the
better, more reliable, longer lifespan,more stable electrical output, and
quieter they get
