What is a soundproof generator enclosure?

A properly designed generator enclosure minimizes noise levels and safeguards the generator from environmental exposure. This guide outlines how to construct an effective soundproof generator enclosure tailored to various applications, using professional-grade materials and techniques.

How do I build a soundproof generator enclosure?

This guide outlines the key steps to construct a soundproof generator enclosure, ensuring functionality, safety, and noise reduction at every stage. Measure your generator and add 1/4-inch clearances on all sides for acoustical panels and ventilation. Cut the panels to size for a precise fit during assembly.

Can a generator be housed in a container?

Not all projects have a requirement for a complete bespoke solution manufactured from the ground up, open generators (mostly up to 1700 kVA) can be comfortably housed and suitably attenuated in a standard 10, 20, 30 or 40-foot ISO container.

How do you soundproof a generator?

Using a decibel meter, determine the generator’s noise levels to plan soundproofing materials effectively. For louder generators, thicker panels and advanced noise-dampening methods may be required. Incorporate airflow solutions that balance cooling needs with noise reduction. Detailed steps for installation can be found in the guide below.
