What is the published noise level of this compressor?

The owners manual does not list a noise level. About the best I could say is that it's about the same noise level as a typical shop vac. It is far and away, much quieter than my friend's DeWalt of similar capacity, and it's possible to carry on a conversation in close proximity to the compressor while it's running. Hope this helps.

No I do not have an answer without more info, or a more specific identification of the compressor. The model number provided didn't match any current products I could find.

It does make some noise when running but is much quieter than previous units I have owned. I would estimate between 40 and 60 decibels when operating

I wish I could answer your question accurately. I am using this unit out in process line to help dry some product that I am running and because of the back ground noise cannot really tell if it is loud or not. I can tell you that the quality seems to be of high standards.

Don't know decible level but there is a noticeable fan noise - especially on high.

its as quiet as any compressor i've ever used. you could probably use it in the room where someone was sleeping without any problem.

I have no way to measure the noise level. I have a set up with the generator in an open garage connected to a circuit running to the house that will run whatever I want that won't exceed the capacity of the generator. There are generators that will run quieter but they are much more expensive.

We can't give you an exact decibel level, but the noise level is equivalent to a small table fan running on low, at least to us.

It is the most quiet compressor I have ever heard...much quieter than a hair dryer...I am thrilled. It sounds like a compressor but really muffled like you're hearing it from way down the street.

I hear absolutely zero noise. I dont think it even has a fan? One thing tho: I had an older model and the dsp chip died at some point. Repair was going to be 400 bucks so i had to trash it and buy a new one. Not really cool.

It's amazingly quiet. We had it right next to us and it was much quieter than our previous compressor which we put in another room and ran a hose.

It is Energy Star certified. Noise - I have owned a few 50 pt humidifiers and this one is by far the quietest. I purchased this unit to replace a much noisier unit, and I wasn't disappointed. I would say that the noise level is similar to that of a table fan. It is certainly heard but it blends into the background after a while. Note that the fan runs constantly. The compressor doesn't add much noise to that of the fan. I have mine in a room near the hvac unit which is open to my living space, and it doesn't add much to the ambient noise.

79 dB on spec sheet. Quiet than most but don't expect a refrigerator like hum. It just is quieter for an air compressor.

I run a 180psi viair onboard system and they are LOUD! My compressor cut back on once I'mdown to 110psi and they are still loud. Less than 110psi prob wouldn't be worth while

I think it was 300 cfm. Not sure, bought it last year. Works well, makes a whine but not too loud.

I couldn't say because there is no indication either on the compressor or the instruction leaflet. Sorry!

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.
