Filling the pole might work but right now it isn't bothering us:)<br /><br />We no longer use the 12 volt pump. Our new 110 volt pump is much quieter. Thank you for the suggestion.ylisa7https://www.blogger.com/profile/13228365537634762034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668724761102832510.post-37825080154229909772013-02-27T15:45:31.947-05:002013-02-27T15:45:31.947-05:00I wonder if you are hearing the bearing noise from...I wonder if you are hearing the bearing noise from the generator transferring down the metal pole. The metal building unfortunately is amplifying the sound just like a big guitar. As posted above, you might try filling the pole with something to try to deaden the sound. another idea would be to try spacing the pole away from the building with something like a piece of an old tire that the attachment bolts go through. The idea is to isolate the vibrations from the large metal sounding box. :) <br /><br /> This same theory is true with your noisy water pump from your earlier pages. If you are still having noise it is probably the PEX carrying the pump vibrations to the walls of the house. This is a common problem in RV's. The fix for this is probably the same whether in a house or an RV. Get a piece of foam pipe insulation and put it between the PEX and any walls it touches and it should quiet it down a bunch. A short length of flexible tubing between the pump and the PEX will also quiet it down providing it can withstand the pump pressures without rupturing.<br /><br />Matt Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668724761102832510.post-75860220937766566682013-02-25T22:39:29.049-05:002013-02-25T22:39:29.049-05:00Thank you for posting.

As for the insulation suggestions, I think we will wait until we get really really bored which won't be this year, lol.ylisa7https://www.blogger.com/profile/13228365537634762034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668724761102832510.post-85770556996299020272013-02-25T22:15:09.745-05:002013-02-25T22:15:09.745-05:00Unless you are hearing the noise outside, I wouldn...Unless you are hearing the noise outside, I wouldn't worry about it. You aren't living in the building. If it bothers you that much, you could insulate the whole inside of the building or use spray type foam and fill the pipe the generator is on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
