Paul, there are a few things you can do to lower noise. If you have a good quite exhaust already than improving insulation would be the biggest improvement you can probably make. As noted by Jon (MrE) above, you can read that thread and gain a bit of prospective. I believe we can go into this deeper and I would be glad with the help of others to address this subject additionally.

I have done some of the things referenced in the 3 page thread post and I have been through some additional learning steps as well. Depending on budget, DIY skill level, interior flooring options etc.. can make a difference how in depth you can go to quite things down. I have gotten a generator so quite, that most people don't even know you are running one. Some brands of generators are quieter than others.

I'll dig up some of my reference materials and see how we can help others with some additional ideas. Anyone else with knowledge, please feel free to jump in with what you have come up with, as I'll be back............

Not sure if anyone has tried them, but there is a company called Dynamat that specializes in sound deadening products that they're pushing for car stereo applications. A quick glance at the pricing on Crutchfield's website shows them to be a rather expensive solution.
