I have a friend who keeps his generator in his garage (primarily for his well) and vents it through the wall (think dryer vent) via a short length of flex pipe. He has battery-powered CO detectors in the house and garage and has never had a problem. When the garage door is closed you don't have to walk very far until you can't hear it. Warning: the metal flex pipe gets very hot -- you have to know how to isolate it when you go through the wall (I have no idea).

You can also get a high-quality aftermarket muffler/resonator:
