Default Genset Noise

There have been several postings here recently about the near-silent Honda
genset. I have the opposite -- a generator powered by a Briggs & Stratton
engine that can wake the dead even at idle. Does anyone have some
suggestions for ways to (even slightly) reduce the N-O-I-S-E!!! level?

Will a different muffler help? An acoustic-damping box? Or am I doomed to
eBay it and buy a Honda?

I added acoustic insulation to my genset box on the side of my RV and
found
that helped. Over on sci.engr.joining.welding NG on 3-1-06 there was a
detailed discussion on how others have successfully added a car muffler.

Thanks!
