I got a generator for my mother but the noise level is very high.

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,

I've had a muffler shop make pipes for
me before so I could add a different
muffler to a small generator. You could
find a muffler for a very small car like
one of those 3 cylinder jobs. A good
independent muffler shop, not one of the
chain stores because of their reluctance
to improvise, would be a good place to
look for help. A good exhaust system tech
could make the bigger muffler fit on top
of your generator so it would still be
portable.
