I'd be very interested in hearing which brands are the quietest.  While =
I
could build a cabinet, I'd prefer not to and use the space. =20

That compressor can be made even quieter by lining the inside of that =
"nook"
with beadboard insulation.

fwiw Oil lubed compressors are normally quieter than "oil-less" =
compressors
- and normally last longer as well.

The noisiest part of a compressor is normally the valves that are =
constantly
opening and shutting during operation.  My compressor has LARGE mufflers =
on
the INTAKES so that this noise is quite low.  I used to have a 2 HP
Craftsman compressor on a 13 gallon tank.  My current compressor is a =
5HP on
a 60 gallon tank and makes nothing even close to the amount of noise =
that
the old one made.  No hearing protection needed when around it.

Of course, the slower the compressor turns, within reason, the quieter =
the
operation will be.

David Love asked: " Does anyone build  cabinet for these things in which =
you
can keep them a bit quieter and then have a hose running out to hook up =
your
various pneumatic tools?"

David,

I have a small "Pancake " compressor, that is just enough to push a nail =
gun
or blow out an action.

my next one will be bigger-quieter (this thing is LOUD!) .

    I had a nook in my shop between storage areas and built a hide-a way
with a door  for this little banshee.

    I'm not running for the hearing protection anymore.
