Development of a Soundproof Device for 950 Watt rated Portable Generators
MUSA, NICHOLAS AKHAZE & ENOCH, JOHN
Abstract
The noise emanating from generators has adverse effects on our health. In
view of this, this paper reports the development of soundproof device for 950Watt rated
generators which are widely used portable generators. Performance evaluation of the
soundproof device was carried out, and the sound pressure level of the generator was
reduced by 7.64, 6.24, 6.82, 8.72 and 8.68dB at distances of 0.70, 1.40, 2.10, 2.80 and
3.50m from the generator respectively.
