Is this compressor "really loud"? Probably a silly question as most are very loud. Just wanted a few opinions before purchasing. Thanks!

Amazingly quiet. My last portable compressor you could hear down the block and took twice as long to top off my tires.

I would not label this compressor as loud. One can easily carry on a conversation with someone immediately in the area where the compressor is running. However, it can be clearly heard when running. I routinely use this compressor outside so inside uses might yield different results. I can tell you that I love this compressor and purchases a second one for my daughter. Very rugged and lasts!

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

How is the best way to go about mounting the air compressor in the trunk? And having easy removal for the spare. Is there a loud horn noise and a lower horn noise?

I would look on youtube for videos of ppl using it. You'll hear the compressor. Here's a link http://youtu.be/rBPL0AORrvY?t=20m27s that's what it sounds like when I use it.

If you ask me I would say that there isn't much compressor noise. However the ice maker and catch tray is quite load I bought mine in January but I'm still getting used to it..... Hope this helps!

No. I have had this model for three years without any problem. Unlike Mr. Blake, my compressor runs quietly. One recommendation - when not in use unplug it. I have had past problems with compressors due to electric surges. Your question though raises my curiosity - why such an inquiry?

this model wouldn't be powerful enough. do a search on the name and see the other compressor's that they offer. I can say that it is a quality product.

Typical small compressor noise-should be no problem for the short periods you use this type of compressor.

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

Yes very quiet and very fast with building up pressure. Heavy but best compressor I've ever owned.

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.

I am not an expert, so please check with a qualified tech. That being said, I simply drilled two holes where my previous horn was for the air hoses to get through. Then I ran those hoses to the small compressor. They included one with the kit, but I purchased the upgraded one that looks the same but is a little bigger. The compressor wires then get attached to the relay, horn switch and positive and negative wires, one with a fuse. For something without a large tank attached to it, I can't believe how loud it gets. Quite impressive.

No I do not have an answer without more info, or a more specific identification of the compressor. The model number provided didn't match any current products I could find.

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

The unit is whisper quiet. If you put it on auto fan, you hardly know the unit is on. The compressor does kick in, but it doesn't blast in and is actually no louder than a window unit.

It is as quiet as any i have used in the past. Low hum most of thew time ,makes a louder sound when the compressor kicks in . Overall happy.

I bought mine to use for air-brushing my model cars and I love it. It is super-quiet and fills the tank in seconds! It is by far the best compressor I've ever had for my hobby-work! (I've had at least 5 others).
