Unfortunately only Cities have an "amplified" noise ordinance, usually from 10pm to 6am, with weekend 7am Sat, 8am Sunday. This is County Ag zoned so a rooster at o'dark thirty busting the 70 decibel rating looking for a hen doesn't matter. The Coqui, unfortunately, are just under 70db! I believe this is why more and more agents now have a disclaimer "buyer to do his/her due diligence prior to sale". There also may be a "nuisance" law on the books that you could persue with other neighbors, but I would take a "cool off" period for all parties and then try to peacefully come up with a solution such as the box, or even lengthening the exhaust from the engine to the muffler if it is a large, anchored generator. The length deepens the tone coming out of the muffler, making it even quiter.
