Basically, you want to insulate the contact with the floor and to build a "dog house" with sound-deadening insulation inside. You do need to ensure that there is sufficient air circulation for cooling and "engine intake". ... I can't wait to cobble together a muffler/enclosure to see how quiet it can really be.

RE: Enclosure for portable generator ... If you search for some fourms on generator power, you'll find some directions on making one yourself. You can put them in a fairly small shed as long as you provide a fan as an air intake and exhaust louvers to keep the heat build up exhausted.

Handyman Wire; Outdoor Questions and Answers ... I would like plans on how to build a generator enclosure for (permanent) camper use. We have a Homelite, and it's VERY loud, so we would like it to be as sound-proof as possible, but also with ventilation in mind (so it doesn't over heat).

You have an ozone generator which is very useful for topical applications, ozonating water or cleaning air. ... If you wish to ozonate water make the exhaust hole small in the enclosure.

In a matter of a few seconds it spun up to a truly scary speed (no load on the generator), and I found myself holding onto a giant, spinning, whirligig of death, with no idea how to put it down without getting myself chopped to bits. ...
