    Noise suppression on gas gennies

    Good point about the garage being an amplifier. No grass behind it, though, it abuts the neighbors fence. A tent in front of it might work. Pad, thanks for the confirmation. Overheating it by surrounding it had me wondering if cooling would be a problem. It'll be in the 40's, which will help...

    Noise suppression on gas gennies

    Hi all, I have a MEP-017, 5kw gasoline-powered generator I want to bring up to my dad on Long Island (I'm in PA). Problem right now is that people are stealing generators and gasoline all over the place. So I want to make this noisy gas unit quieter. If we can't hide it, at least make it...
