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.
Try Thomas compressor. I think think they are still made in this country. that's not the reason I buy them. They little compressors are quiet and long lasting. When it comes to a tool, I have no issue paying for something that will last. Nothing like having a tool go down when you need it. Again, they are known for their whisper quiet and quality.
