Actually that link is great, for ideas.
HD sells 2 Rockwool products:
3.5" thick x 15" wide x 47" long batts for $78.47 per case of 12 on a Compression pack,
and
3"x15.25"x47" for $79/case of 12

Acoustimac sells it 4"x24"x48" for $79.95 case of 3.
My math skills say HD wins out.
I'm planning on getting a Compression pack from HD and trimming to fit.
/edit -
update - got the HD pack, now waiting on the builder (me) to get time. Life gets in the way.

We had a generator at our cabin in Alaska. I built a shed - to protect it from the weather. The shed was too small - the gen would overheat. I rebuilt the shed. Just a solid back and a roof. It substantially reduced the noise and protected the gen from the elements.

The inherent issue with an air cooled genny will always be adequate air flow which is a non issue with mine because it's water cooled. Mine is very quiet actually.

Subject of interest!

The eu2200 is non issue, the champion 9kw, not so much.
