Sound Proof Canopies are, in effect, a large box lined with acoustic installation. Each acoustic canopy also has purpose built louvers for free flow ventilation and to reduce the external sound levels.

Sounding proofing is accomplished by lining each section of the acoustic canopy with thick insulation to absorb the noise emitted when the generator engine is running. Without any sound proofing the generator is termed-“an Open Set”- these have no canopy or container.

The most common level of sound proofing for generators is the standard of 80dbA @ 1 metre open field conditions. This is by far the majority of all acoustic canopied generators that we have supplied and installed.

When the generator is to be permanently sited outside , that’s when you need the generator to be its own acoustic weather proof and lockable canopy . Weatherproof and secure.
