Where to Find a Silent Generator Rental

There’s no question about it: one of the main reasons people do not own or use a generator is because of the noise they make. If you’re out camping and enjoying nature, nothing can be more disruptive to that experience than a noisy generator. Is there anything that can be done about this? Fortunately, yes! Below are a few tips you can use to quiet your generator, and some information about silent generator rental.

Brands

As technology continues to progress, manufacturers are creating quieter and quieter generators. Companies know the problems too much noise can make, so they’re trying to adapt. If you cannot afford a new generator, then a silent generator rental is your best option.

Generally speaking, the smaller the generator the quieter. But many generators that put out 1600 watts or 2000 watts will run about 50 dB. The brands with the quietest generators tend to be Champion, Generac, Honda, and CAT.

Box

The next best tip is to create an enclosure for your generator. For a quick how-to guide, click here. The enclosure should be snug, but with some “breathing room.” In addition, you want to be sure to have holes so that your generator can be properly ventilated. Sometimes, even something as small and simple as a cardboard box with cut-out holes will suffice. 

Bottom

Lastly, rubber or cardboard pads under your generator can help provide some cushion. This technique suppresses the vibrations and diverts the sounds. A rubber enclosure with rubber padding is ideal. This way you get the best of both worlds.
