So I have finally got my shop to where I feel pretty comfortable. Still a few things to work on, but I have spots for the tools and I have started making a case for my hand tools. I have noticed something though - I am very reluctant to use my Dewalt D55141 air compressor because it is loud as hell, and its a really grating kind of angry noise. The spec says it is only 75 Db., but I am skeptical. I cannot have a conversation when it is on, and it being a 1 gallon tank means it runs fairly regularly. I would like to consider a change, or a means of quieting it down some. Any suggestions?
If you have your own newer compressor and are happy with the noise it makes inside your shop, would you reply and let me know the model? Thanks Folks.
Joe
