Description says 71.5 dB. California Tools has one that's 60 dB. Can anyone equate the "quietness" of 71 or 60 dB? Is 11dB a big difference?

the one I have is alot quieter than a regular compressor.one with 60 dB may be quieter ,but may not be as good for the work .

I cannot speak for 60dB, but I can unequivocally recommend this compressor at 71 dB. I use this daily in the garage in our townhouse to Airbrush. My wife in the next room cannot hear it running when it refills the tank. You really cant beat DeWalt quality.

I believe it's 63db, it's not to bad. I've been very impressed with the easy start and dependability.

This vacuum is around 80 db. With the roller not moving 75db. If you want a great vacuum that is around 65 db it gonna cost with some reduction. Electrolux ultra silencer is a good low level noise at about 63. It's a cannister. For an upright, check out the Hoover wind tunnel S3670. It was quiet but I didn't feel the umph! I wish I could tell you more but I am limited to my shopping experiences and research I did. Wish I could test them all. Hope that helps! Dennis

Hi, Sam...When first purchased, they are super quiet. After about a year of constant use, they begin to make a lot of noise. I purchased 4 Dewalt scroll saws, and all of them ae noisey. I recently upgraded to Excalibur 21" and it is far superior than Dewalt. Dewalt is not what it used to be. Don

120 db as per spec. That probably tells you nothing. What I CAN tell you is that it works fine. Nice loudness.

Difficult to say exactly and depending on the speed used. Generally speaking - it's much quieter than an electric hand drill. Good luck!

It's not loud on the lower settings. I use it for dog toenails. Thats what I bought it for. Its a great tool. Great battery life.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable&gt; I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

I can't remember the exact db measurements, but I put a couple of these in my PC and it dropped from something like 50 db to 20. (I used a free app on my Ipod so not very accurate) I can now sleep peacefully with the computer on. You may want to purchase a fan controller to turn the revolutions down a bit to make it even quieter. I would say these are very quiet fans, but I can't guarantee they wont be heard in a studio situation. I'd give em a shot.

We did not compare it to an other sound meter. We measured the noise from a dehumidifier rated at 55 db, as we thought it was much louder than that, and indeed found it to be 81db.Repeat measurements were always at the same level, which allowed exchange to a more silent machine.Did not test at louder levels.

I have not measured the 72db output. I will tell you that you can turn this thing waaaaayyyyy down and still hear fine. I use mine on the fire department, and I get voice and tones just fine barely turned up from the lowest point on my volume dial.

Just checked manual and it refers to the website. To be honest, it sounds more like 100 W RMS than 180.

I don't know the decibels, but for an air compressor it is remarkably quiet. I hope this helps. I keep mine in a drawer under my miter saw. When I want to use it I open the drawer, turn it on, and let fly with the brads from my senco air gun. If it is a bigger job I unplug it, take it out of the drawer and etc. it's a convenient, low key, quiet, useful tool! Just right for grandpa's small woodshop. I hope this helps.

The noise level(zero load--full load)DB(A)/7M is 54-59. Thanks for your question. Jason, AMERISUN INC. www.amerisuninc.com 1-800-791-9458

It has a little bit of growl but it's hard to say as the amp does not hit record breaking sound levels. Do not know what a 7100 sounds like so cannot compare the amps. Yes, too quiet for session work.

I don't know the decibel rating...but I personally have no issue with the noise it creates. It's no more or less than any other cutting tool I use.

Hi Alfred - MacBob's response is pretty much spot on. 30b is pretty much silent, your going to have a terrible time trying to locate somewhere with a reading below this level unless you are in a sound studio in which case you should probably buy a much advanced device. Anything less usually cannot be heard by the human ear very well. The cost to make a device to measure below this level would raise the price considerably. There are some out there that can read lower but you will certainly pay much more for these units.You should expect a normal "silent" room to come in at about 35-50 dba which is quite quiet.Sincerely,BAFX Products Support Hi Alfred - MacBob's response is pretty much spot on. 30b is pretty much silent, your going to have a terrible time trying to locate somewhere with a reading below this level unless you are in a sound studio in which case you should probably buy a much advanced device.
