How loud is the compressor and does it constantly run or is there a tiny tank it fills?

it's as loud as a microwave. And it has a on and off button. It pushes air thru a tube into the airbrush itself an u can adjust how much air is pushed thru by adjusting the nozzles.

I don't know the exact db and I don't have a way to measure it. I can say it is the quietest compressor I have ever been around or have ever owned. You can be in the same room as the compressor, and still carry on a conversation without yelling. My wife's hair dryer make more noise than this compressor. If you want a quiet, portable, compressor that will last a lifetime this is it.

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

Yes it does, I love it, however it is a low volume compressor. For me it's perfect.

It is not quiet but not too loud to be disturbing. I have compressor that are way louder. It is about the same sound level as your car engine.

Yes, it has been a good compressor for me. I use it for pneumatic nailers, it has a 2 gallon tank which would be excellent for bike tires, it may run a little but ive fill my car tires with it.

The compressor runs when the psi in the tank falls below your selected level. It will always have air at the pressure you want by kicking itself on while you are using it.

Seems like an odd question. I mean, you always try to keep things running to the newest condition possible. The start-up kit is a must and will get you up running smoothly. These are some top quality compressors, I've yet to have a problem with this.

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 .

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!

Any compressor makes some noise. I can carry on a decent conversation with it right next to me; I also have no problem sleeping with the unit on. My pet rabbits are not bothered by it either.

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's a small capacity compressor that works off of 110 AC power. It comes with a power cord about 6 ft long. It's relatively quiet. I returned mine because the pressure regulator didn't work right.

No, the compressor is quiet...you can still hear it but nothing that is bothersome.

Yes the fan runs continuosly. Compressor runs as needed to dry the air. Is a very quiet unit.

This unit from empty to full runs about 25 seconds. If memory serves me right I believe it it is rated at continues use. I really like this unit. Runs smooth and much quieter than many other brands. I've never had a bad experience with Rolair compressors.

Is not very loud, sounds like a small air compressor running. I can hear mine run from outside closed garage.
