Probably as quiet as it gets, I have one and it's well within reason.

I haven't got one but had a few dealings with then, 3 pot cast iron pump with belt drive and motor running at 900RPM makes for a reliable and quiet machine, it's hard to explain how loud they are or what to relate it to but they are definitely one of the quietest I have heard

They are as good as you'll get in a portable compressor

I have one and a Supercheap cheapy. The Marquip is quieter than the Supercheap one which is a lesser cfm rating. Good compressors - which reminds me, I must make an auction for it.LoL

Easy enough to build a sound proof cabinet using polystyrene or bats. Just build in ventilation and exhaust. Other brands do silent options and thats the only difference. Marquis are a good little unit.

Daz--I have exactly this compressor. I've had it for 4 years. Up till recently its been really quiet. I need to goout and adjust the belts -it squeaks on startup at the moment
