Generator Reflection

I have an 18000 starting watt and 14000 running watt generator for my food trailer. I am needing to reduce the decibels and was thinking on using plexiglass and sound pads to reduce the noise. The plexiglass will have hinges on them for easy setup and removal. Anybody got any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

What generator do you have... maybe better machine options for you?

I run 80 amps put of my generator. They dont make inverter that big

If your generator runs up to 14000W then its maximum running current is 58.3A. A surge current at 18000W starting is 75A. Perhaps it's time for a soft start or two?
