Diesel generators are the favorite choice for power generation, whether it’s for a mining or industrial worksite, a business or home. But in addition to their capacity, affordability and reliability, you’re going to notice something else – the noise. Whether you’re looking at used generators for sale or brand new equipment, you should consider silent or soundproof generator enclosures to ensure that noise is kept to a comfortable level.
How do soundproof enclosures for diesel generators work?
The larger your diesel generator is, the louder it generally is during operation. While smaller home generators may need to be positioned away from the home and neighbors to meet noise restriction rules, even they can benefit from an enclosure. Industrial and commercial diesel generators, on the other hand, can generate noise levels high enough to damage hearing if you aren’t wearing protective gear, so these enclosures become essential in these situations.
Soundproof generator enclosures are made up of layers of different materials and air pockets that act to absorb and deflect both high and low-frequency noise from your generator. These are fairly complex enclosures that are designed to meet exacting requirements based on the frequencies your particular generator emits and keeping in line with health and safety requirements.
For high-frequency noises, hard materials are used to contain the sound waves, directing them into porous materials that absorb them and convert them into heat. Low-frequency sounds need a more complex system where they are either deflected into heavy layers that are resistant to movement or are directed to layers of lighter material with air pockets between them. This has the effect of transforming them into higher frequency waves that can then be absorbed.

Noise levels over 80 decibels are generally considered loud, while anything around 140 decibels is considered painful and harmful. An enclosure will reduce the sound of your generator while it is operating for power generation by around 40 decibels and specialists can help maximize this during the placement phase of the installation.
