Thye claim that air brush artists like it for that reason. Not the cheapest, but I really like it becasue of the low noise level.
That is the one I have my eye on thanks to MIMF! Now I just have to convince the boss that I need an air compressor more than she needs new cushions for our patio furniture :D

Good to know. I wouldn't mind a cup of coffee while spraying in the dining room!

I have a government surplus three cylinder radial air compressor. I was told they were originally supplied to M.A.S.H. units. It only produces about 60 psi, but runs very quietly.
