Can I jump in for a related silly question?

I have been using a craftman maintenance free from Sear for years. Everytime I turn it on, I afraid the neighbor complain, even during the day. I also had my hands on the little tiny one from lowes, same loundness. Now, you know that I wish I can work in my garage at night sometimes, but I couldn't.

I always heard you guys talk about oil and belt driven but never experience one. Once, I went to Draco's place to play with his car at night. Close to midnight, we needed the air compressor and he turned it on. I was so supprise that I couldn't hear anything, even standing close to the garage door, outside and door closed of course.

Question is, are all the belt driven and oil feed air compressors that quiet, or it's still depend on brand/model/type?
Thanks.
