Soundproofing materials required for an external generator enclosure

Making your own sound insulation panels can be a fun and satisfying chore. Most of the materials can be found conveniently at your local hardware or online store. Here is a list of the materials that can be utilized and some realities about them.
 
Mass loaded vinyl sound barrier

• Incredible noise reducer

• Frequently utilized on the outside of good sound insulation panels

• Is sturdy and durable

• Can be layered

• Cane be painted for a more embellished look

• When applied, gaps should be caulked or metal tape utilized for efficiency.

Medium Density Fibreboard

• Utilized for the walls of the enclosure

• Favoured over plywood as it permits less sound

• Some are moisture resistant

• Some are fire retardant

• Flexible and can be curved or shaped

• Cheap

• Heavy than plywood

• Allows possible carcinogens when cut



Closed cell Foam Matting

• Incredible for inner insulation

• Efficient  noise barrier backed composites by blocking and absorbing noise

• Unlike open cell foam, it is water resistant

• Known to resist moulds

• Generally fire retardant

• Light in weight

• More robust and durable than open cell foam

• Some costly models come in a peel and stick design

Fiberglass Insulation

• Cheap in respect to closed cell mats

• Resistant to moisture

• Non-flammable and non-combustible

• Does not depreciate easily

• Efficiently controls the sound and temperature

• Should be tightly packed for the best sound barrier experience

• Irritating to the skin

Acoustical Tile or Foam

• Some absorb water

• Efficiently absorbs sound

• Fire resistant

Soundproof paint

• Blocks moisture

• Ensures pink noise control

• Not toxic

• Needs multiple coating to be efficient

• Flame retardant

• Might be hard to get
