You wouldn\u2019t need anything but the essentials and a camping tent, right? Maybe not. How would you go out camping without lighting and mobile devices? That&#8217;s where you will need a portable generator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your problem is not yet solved. What if your portable generator makes a lot of noise and disturbs the peace of nature you want to enjoy? A noisy generator can create a hurdle in your camping experience, but you can make your generator quiet while camping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How? Let&#8217;s discuss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Reasons Why Generator Is Loud<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3833\" src=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/onan-generator-starter-problems-1024x536-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/onan-generator-starter-problems-1024x536-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/onan-generator-starter-problems-1024x536-1-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/onan-generator-starter-problems-1024x536-1-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Before you begin to quiet the generator, you need to find out why generators are loud. There must be a reason for the noise they make. Not all portable generators are loud; you can find some as exceptionally quiet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your generators can be loud due to one of the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Technology<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Modern generators are made with advanced technology that uses noise-reduction features. If your generator is loud, it could be one of the older versions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Power Output<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The large and powerful generators produce more noise compared to compact generators using low power.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Generator\u2019s positioning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The way you place the generator is the reason for the loud noise. Make sure to check how far you have positioned the generator from the camping site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Soundproofing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Check whether your generator includes soundproofing features. Cheaper generators have low soundproofing, which is not highly effective.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Tips to Quiet a Generator for Camping<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to make your generator quiet for camping, follow the tricks and tips mentioned below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reducing the Vibration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can reduce the vibration by placing your generator on a stable surface. Use firm rubber platforms instead of unstable wooden surfaces. On a wooden surface, the generator will have more vibrations and produce more noise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Water Hack<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3827\" src=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/quieting-noisy-generator.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/quieting-noisy-generator.jpg 800w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/quieting-noisy-generator-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodsybond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/quieting-noisy-generator-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/>If you are going out camping, water is required for your survival. However, you can use the water to reduce the generator&#8217;s noise. Attach a pipe to the generator&#8217;s exhaust and then put it in a bucket of water. It will lower down the noise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can make a hole at the end of the pipe to avoid water getting into the generator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sound Deflectors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can create an acoustic boundary between the sound and yourself. A sound deflector can direct the sound waves away from your camping site. Moreover, these are highly beneficial around space constraints.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barriers like the sloped surfaces of hard metal can direct the sound waves away from where you are. You can also place barriers between the generator and your camping location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Right Position of Exhaust Pipe<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to know how the exhaust pipe is positioned. For a standard generator, you might find the exhaust pipe horizontally positioned. However, you can position it vertically to reduce the noise levels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exhaust pipe is the reason for the buzzing sound of the generator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Use a Good Exhaust Muffler<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know how the exhaust is majorly responsible for the noise from the motor. That&#8217;s why manufacturers install mufflers on the generator to reduce the noise. Therefore, you should think of investing in a good exhaust muffler to reduce the noise level and pitch generated by the generator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The generator makes an essential part of your camping trips. You never know when you need to charge your phone or require light to illuminate the camping area. Therefore, a generator comes in handy during outdoor adventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only downside is the noise, but you can now reduce the noise by implementing the tips mentioned above. By doing so, you can enjoy peaceful camping trips in the wilder without missing out on your essentials. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Camping is all about enjoying the peace in the wilderness.
