We want to be able to run the generator in parks. I think requirement is 70 decibel max, and new quiet gensets operate under 70 decibels. Has anyone soundproofed the original 12.5 perkins/kohler to get around 70 decibels? If so, what materials and what if anything special did you do about the fan (e.g. build wall btw fan and generator? Or do you think our only option is to get a new quiet diesel?

Thanks!
