Soundproofing Materials Needed For an Outdoor Generator Enclosure
from web site
Making acoustic enclosures for condensers can be an enjoyable and gratifying endeavor. Most substances are available readily at your local hardware store or online. Here's an excellent list of materials which can be used and some facts about these...
Mass Loaded Vinyl
Excellent Sound reducer
Often used on the outside of a good Sound Proof shed
Is tough and durable
Could be layered
Can be painted for a more decorative look
Once employed, gaps Will Need to be caulked or Metallic tape used for effectiveness
Medium Density Fiber Board (MDF)
Useful for the walls of this enclosure
Preferred over plywood because it moves less noise
A few are moisture resistant
Some Kinds are flame retardant
Adaptive and may be curved or shaped
Inexpensive
Heavier-than plywood
Emits possible carcinogens when trimming
Great for inner insulating material
A powerful soundproof barrier by obstructing and absorbing noise
Waterresistant unlike any open cell foam
Regarded as mould resistant
Usually Fire-retardant
Light Weight
Stronger and stronger than open cell foam
More compact and prices more than cells
Some expensive models are a"peel and stick" layout
Fiberglass Insulation
Inexpensive, compared to closed cell mats
Moisture-resistant
Non-combustible, non-flammable
Does not easily deteriorate
Efficiently controls temperature and sound
Has to be closely packed for the most optimum sound barrier
Skin Tags
Acoustical Foam or Tile
Fire-resistant
Efficiently absorbs sound
Many absorb water
Sound-proof Paint
Blocks moisture
Reduces noise and vibrations
Non Toxic
Requires many coats to be effective
Flame retardant
Maybe Tough to find
Generator noise may be a significant problem, specially in silent neighborhoods or even sidewalks. All these sound proofing materials would unquestionably be a wonderful asset in reducing noise pollution.
