In an attempt to reduce sound radiated from a portable generator, a sound proof enclosure has been
developed to absorb effectively the generator noise. This sound proof enclosure is designed and fabricated with
locally available materials from the opinion of an idea which aims at easing the pains and stress of receiving
the noise radiating from a portable electric generating set. The walls of the enclosure is fabricated by combining
panels of foam, composite sawdust and grinded glass and an outer plywood with air trapped in-between the
composite and plywood. A reverberation room method is used to measure the noise absorption efficiency of
the enclosure using a 950 watts/220 volts rated generator to ascertain the enclosure performance average at
76.40% noise absorption.
Key words: Enclosure, panel, sound, sound pressure, sound proof, ,
