I do my best to run only at reasonable hours.

Being considerate.



In the case of your customer, wasn't the generator

itself noisy? Would that be loud in the house?

I had a customer who owned a single cylinder stationary genset installed

It was still quite noisy outside so I went to my pal who ran a muffler

shop and got him to make an extension pipe with a glasspack muffler

which added to the existing muffler brought the sound level way down

to a nonirritating tone. His neighbor's really appreciated it. ^_^



TDD

They are loud, but it beats the heat that we have in Texas.

I told him today to consider some kind of cover for the generator itself.

He would not want rain getting on it.

Putting in some fiberglass mats may help with sound reduction in addition to a muffler and/or glass pack.

It's about 8700 watts of output.
