Ahh, right. No, mine needs to be a quiet one, it’ll be in my apartment and I’m not sure how my fiancee/wife would appreciate the noise in her/our study [B)]
Then you’ll need to step up to a pretty expensive compressor. Check out Dixie Art for the Silentaire Series. They start around $150 and up. If that’s out of your budget right now, go to Harbor Freight and get this one. I think that’s the same model HippyEd has. He’ll be able to let you know how loud it is.
ok Bill, I see you’re tossin’ it back to me[:)] Other than the fact mine is the 40psi (non adjustable air flow) it’s identical to that one. As far as noise level goes, I could hear my g.f. in the other room talking to me while I as in a closed room with it going. I can only compare it to a hair above the pump on a large (90-100gal.) fish aquarium. It’s a decent compressor and runs my double action Badger 175 (once I bought an adjustable regulator) but, I wouldn’t recommend it for long spraying sessions tho. They tend to get a bit warm after running for extended period (1/2 hr or so)
I’ve considered adding a tank to mine when I have the time & the funds to do so. (I’m on a quite limited budget now)
hth,

I can’t watch your 6 all the time, pal! I’ve never heard the compressor run, so I had to toss it back. Sounds like it would work for Name Taken, and it’s on sale! Can’t beat that with a stick.
LoL Bill!! Thanks bro, I needed that[:D] Yup, it’s on sale & I think that’s a bit less than what I had paid for mine[:O]
When I first started A/B’n back in the day, with a starter kit Badger with a propel can in water, In a condo with a new wife. A good move I made was an air tank, monkey rigged from hardware store parts to set up reg/trap. Filled it up at the gas station down the street for free. No comp. noise and it lasted as planned. It worked pretty good. If ya got the cash, go for the best, who wouldn’t?..[8D] P.S. Paul Boyer was the one that told that tip back in the day…circa…86-89 maybe…CO2 tank I think was his Fav…[8D]
