Abstract
An enclosure for acoustically insulating noise-producing equipment, such as an engine or generator, includes a base, first and second opposing end panels, first and second opposing side panels, and a top panel. The side and end panels rest upon the base and are releasably interconnected at mitered edge joints. The top panel is releasably connected to the end and side panels at similar mitered edge joints. The top, side and end panels are each separately removable from the enclosure without removing any other of the panels, enabling unobstructed access to all sides of the enclosed equipment. Guide pins at the mitered joints align the panels. Methods of use are also disclosed.
