Reasons for The Increase in Noise of Diesel Generators

Feb. 28, 2025

Diesel generator sets all produce noise. Without using a silent box, the noise level of the unit is about 110 decibels. Recently, a user consulted online: I have a 500KW diesel generator set that has been in use for a long time, and the noise has become louder than when it was first used. What's going on? The diesel generator manufacturer will help you solve this doubt:

Carbon deposits in the 500KW diesel generator

As the old engine oil of the unit becomes thinner with long use, more and more carbon deposits are generated. Thin engine oil is prone to oil blow-by, resulting in an increasing amount of carbon deposits and a significant loss of power. When new engine oil is replaced, the diesel generator may not adapt to the viscosity of the new oil, which may cause the engine to run at a higher speed, thus increasing the noise of the generator.

 

Loose mechanical parts of the 500KW diesel unit

When mechanical parts of the diesel generator become loose during long-term operation, the noise will also increase. Sometimes, it may even lead to malfunctions. Moreover, the noise of the generator will gradually become louder. In this case, inspections and replacements should be carried out to avoid other malfunctions.

 

Psychological factors

Human hearing can have errors in different environments. Of course, to truly distinguish the magnitude of noise, a decibel meter should be used for measurement.

 

The most fundamental way to reduce the noise of a diesel generator is to start from the sound source. Some conventional noise reduction technologies can be adopted, such as mufflers, sound insulation, sound absorption, vibration isolation, and other effective methods. It is recommended that if users want to reduce the noise generated during the operation of diesel generators, they can consider customizing the unit configuration with a silent box and implementing noise reduction measures in the engine room provided by Dingbo Power, a diesel generator manufacturer. This can reduce the noise of the unit to 75 decibels. The greatest advantage of a silent generator set is its low noise level, which can reduce environmental noise pollution and the potential harm to the operators of the unit caused by noise.
