Is it loud? I have a Craftsman oil less compressor and it is obscenely loud.

No, not to loud. However, that question is rather subjective. The air tools we use seem to be louder than the compressor.

It is a whole shop compressor so it is loud, but surprisingly quiet for this type of compressor... I have another 80 Gal in my shop that is louder!

It's not to bad! We have had several air compressors and this one is actually one of the more quiet compressors.

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

Its pretty loud. I wear ear plugs when I'm sanding. Good luck finding a quieter one.

My unit is normal noise, just blower sound, to me not loud at all. Other brands much louder. I would reccomend this one , this is my second one love them. best luck with your choice.

It's only noisy when on turbo, on low/med it's quiet, on high it's a little loud. Just take it off auto and set it on low/med.

Mine is a different sounding fridge, but not really louder, I believe it is mostly fan noise not compressor noise. But ... make sure that you have at least 2" of air gap in the back. It is such a big unit it is tempting to push it back as far as you can. The better air flow you have over the back the less sound you hear.

I would rate it below average for compressor noise. Meaning it isn't as loud as my larger one. Great compressor!

All the air compressors listed here are very noisy. I would only recommend getting an air compressor built by California Air Tools - They are so quite you can work inside and not even know an air compressor is being used. They are a little more expensive but much, much better quality than any other air compressor on the market by a long shot.....

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

It is a powerful motor so not super quiet unlike other dryers in the market. As a professional stylist I look for power in the blower. I don't think the noise it does make is super loud, I personally would consider it to be average in noise level.

Mine does not make much noise and doesnt rattle-just not happy with output of air-my craftsman was same size with more power but they dont make it anymore

Loud. The fan (only) is not bad, but when that compressor kicks in, it's noise. The unit is in a window about 7 to 8 feet from my bed.

Yeah I just set mine up and the motor is pretty loud. I'm thinking of returning it because of that even though everything else is great.

Probably has a higher capacity motor I do know that this a.c. is louder than I like. The compressor isn't insulated well enough from the interior portion and a lot of the compressor noise goes into the room. However it does cool great.

Compressor has worked well so far. Installed summer 2013. I have never heard a quiet one.

When it's on the lowest setting it makes a low motor sound. On medium and high it is definitely louder. High is almost too noisy for me.
