Installing panels around the generator to reduce noise levels is not advisable. The engine is air cooled, and restricting the access of cool air to the engine will reduce the life of the engine. Placing a barrier between you and the noise can deflect a majority of the high frequency noise and reduce noise levels. A simple sand-filled cinder block wall the height of the generator can significantly reduce noise levels (taking care not to reduce cooling airflow).
