Brian, et al, I have a "Husky" 26 gallon, 5 hp compressor. As my shop is small I needed a bigger compressor, but have limited space. It is IN my shop. When it "goes off", one can still carry on a conversation, w/o screaming, but I don't recommend trying to tune with it going. I got mine at Home Depot. I shopped all the big box and little box stores and this was the only one that fit the "price"/"size"/Capacity, etc. Will your neighbors hear it? Probably, but not so's it'd annoy them. That is unless you were using an air hammer to drive pins! That's where the noise is!<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
