How to reduce decibels and direct sound to silent your Diesel generator

Making your Diesel generator silent is pretty easy. There are three things that one should have a basic idea of to lessen noise pollution. 

1. The parts of the engine of the generator that causes high dB levels. 

2. Generator and engine cooling

3. How to direct and suppress sound

It has just been in the past 15 years hat engineers have found ways to move sound and air to transform standard high noise diesel generations into the serene machines that are becoming more common today. I was involved in the generator rental business for almost two decades. Not all our equipments are sound attenuated by using a sound attentuator, so we have frequently worked with our customers to dampen sound. 

Where is the noise coming from?

A commonly held notion about generator noise is that by putting on a big muffler, the sound will be deadened enough just like the usage of a generator sound enclosure. A good muffler undeniably assists, but the person that depends on this as a solution will be disappointed. Some of the sound is created due to the rattle of the components of the diesel engine, but a huge part is the fan noise. 

How to make the Generator silent

While getting an air compressor cover, it is important that sufficient space is allowed for air flow into and out of the fans of both the generator and the engine. 

Keep in mind, sound travels in a straight line but not completely.  Remember when you are speaking, the person facing you hears your voice in the most intense way, but to a lesser extent, those that are beside you or behind you can still hear what you say. Sadly, as sound dispels in every direction, only one sound blocking wall or noise reduction fence might not be sufficient. Stay assured, by following the above mentioned steps, the complaints about sound pollution from your generator will lessen to a considerable extent.
