Silent generators, also known as quiet or low-noise generators, are designed to operate with minimal noise compared to standard generators. They're ideal for environments where noise is a concern—such as residential areas, hospitals, camping sites, or outdoor events. Key Features of Silent Generators: Soundproof Enclosure (Canopy): The engine and alternator are enclosed in a sound-attenuating enclosure made from materials that dampen noise. These enclosures often reduce noise levels to 50-65 decibels (dB), roughly the sound of a normal conversation.
