Should know before buying the generator
Certain product specifications which affect the noise level if you know them before buying the generator then you can buy a good product as you want.
1: Generator type
There are different types of generators in the market. Inverter generators are made by new technology and they are more user friendly and used to be several purposes if you try them then they might best for you since they run very quietly.
Another hand, solar generators are also available for powering your appliances and run very quietly. Now you have 2 options to have a quiet generator.
After both of them, the standby generators run quietly especially when they run on propane. The loudest generators are portable generators. Now it’s up to you what type of generator you’ll be going to purchase.
2: Fuel Type
I think it is important to mention this for your information. Your generator’s fuel also affects the generator’s noise. Don’t you see that the solar generator runs very quietly? But why do they run very quietly? Because you don’t need to fill any fuel to run them since they run by the heat of the sun. Means they don’t need any fuel which Which we bring forth from the earth (gasoline, propane, diesel).
Those generators which run on gasoline, they run more quietly than those run on propane. Although the diesel generators are more powerful than the others, no doubt they generate too much power. But with this, you have to accept it they are too noisy than others.
3: Engine type
From a general perspective, the big engine is the big sound. This mean whenever you have a big engine for powerful output then you have to face too much noise this is why the 7000 watts to 8000 watts portable generator are loud than 2000 to 3000 watts generator in the same range.
If you think that the home stand-by generators are also for heavy duty but they run quietly. Yeah, they run quiet because they are fitted with noise canceling technology. We see hybrid open frame inverters are more capacity than a traditional inverter, they also come with noise canceling technology this is why they might a good alternative to a conventional generator if you think about the noise level.
4: Put a pipe into the generator
The first thing to consider while you’re camping or home backup is where you give place your generator. You must see that from where the generator gives sound so keep that place opposite to you. Put a lengthy pipe into the generator’s sound place and then keep away the pipe’s face from you or up the face on the sky. This is one of the best ways to reduce your generator noise. We also tried this way this is why I am telling you this solid idea.
5: Keep your generator away from you
The next thing which is considered in mind, when you are using the generator is the distance between you and your generator.
If you’re camping in the campground there might be more people with you. However, you must keep in mind your campsite fellow when you are placing your generator so that the noise doesn’t disturb them.
If you’re camping at a place where no other persons are available then it’s up to your cord how long it is. If you’ll have a long cord then you can place your generator away from you as much as possible then you can enjoy your camping with quietly.
Now the question is how much distance should have between you and your generator while camping or other activities? so that you can not feel its noise.
Most brands also mentioned decibel ratings of some models. These decibel rating measure at least 7 meters. Mean if you want to enjoy your activities with a quiet generator then you should place your generator at least 20 feet or more away from you. Now you need to purchase long cords.
6: Place the Generator on Rubber
While placing the generator, it is compulsory to check where are you going to place your model. Are you placing that on a solid surface or soft? If you place it on a hard surface then you might face noise because a solid surface also increases the generator noise. This is why it is better to wrap the rubber around the generator frame or buy rubber legs. The most unique idea is which I also have adopted that you should have a large tire like a motorbike tire and to put your machine on this tire it will very helpful for you.
7: Body
Sometimes it happens that you use a lot of tactics that affect the sound of the generator but still you’re facing the noise problem.
But your mind does not go to whether the body of the generator is strong or loose.
Because if any part of the body of your generator is loose, it also increases the volume of the generator.
Make sure no part of the body is loose as the generator vibrates while running which can cause noise.
We have faced this issue in our generator this is why we want to share this trick with you so that you can easily get rid of this issue.
