A cheap, safe, and effective way to quiet a noisy portable generator. I don't have a way to edit video, so it's a bit long-winded and unpolished.

  • whats the point of doing all this and not showing a before and after

  • Thanks A whole fucking Lot! why the fuck would you make a 12 minute long video just talking jive about your shitty cardboard box of an enclosure.. it probably sucks and doesn't even work since you didn't even turn it on to show how it works! you suck at life

  • Thanks for this. Lots of good handy tips. I just bought a RIDGID 6,800-Watt.

    Mine will be operating inside a 12'x12' Barn with an exhaust extension venting outside and small car muffler. The cinder blocks are an excellent idea!

  • IMO: you should have linked your other video.. of you actually starting it..

  • Dude.. That box worked so well.. I didn't even hear it run! WOW!! XD

  • i liked the part wen he started it.

  • Good setup, but disappointing results:( Still sounds quite loud. Your fan hole and exhaust vents are killing the setup efficiency! It's like keeping a door open in the room where loud TV is on.

    Use cheap car's muffler for exhaust. Use smaller fan and let the air out through drilled-through cinderblocks (air will pass, sound will decrease after few bounces inside blocks. Then you'll see sound decrease!

  • Crazy. You must have lots of time on your hands.

  • Wait, did you actually turn the generator on so that we could hear how well it did it's job???? Or did I miss that?

  • @SouthNJPC I would agree with that as I know his total cost is probly less than $500 and a good honda generator thats not super quiet starts around $1000 and then the really high powered quiet ones are like $2000+ I really like the yamaha I rember it just purring... but the price was almost alot! I live where you have houses all around you... so I if I do buy one its gotta be really quiet. Ive owned a 4000watt honda 56dbs paid $1000 sold it 3yrs later $1000 and got all the use outta it.
