I’m building out a heated workshop inside my pole barn. I currently have my wood shop set up in the corner of this pole building, and move a single dust collection hose around to my machines as I use them. In this new dedicated space, I plan to have a hard plumbed system with blast gates at each machine for more convince, and less hoses and cords on the floor. My current dust collector is an older Oneida model similar to this :

It works really good, my only complaint is the noise. With my building in a building project, I thought it would be a good idea to move the collector itself outside the shop, and only have the duct work, and return air filter inside the shop. Would this reduce the noise level significantly?
My other idea is to replace the Oneida with a Harvey like this:

and keep the Harvey inside the shop.
The big advantage to the Harvey besides the reduced noise level, is the full bin alert. It seems like I consistently get busy and forget to check the bin, only top find it backed up into the cyclone.
Please share your experiences. Thank you.
