I did notice it sounded pretty loud when I played the video back. I think the recording is very amplified. Maybe try turning your speaker volume down, lol. Really, its pretty quiet. It's not totally silent like a fridge or something. I bet if I did a side by side between this one and my Dewalt...a difference can be heard in a video. The claimed db rating is 60. The main thing I wanted is not to hear it upstairs and it works well in that aspect.
I'd love to have a Silentaire compressor, but don't want to spend a grand on one. Before I'd do that, I'd get a huge upright one a stick it in the garage and pipe the air down.

Here, this video may be a better sound comparison. The three compressors are a Dewalt 4.5 gallon, Campbell Hausfeld 1 gallon and a GMC Syclone 6 gallon.

I can see where that would happen with constant temperature changes in the garage, especially in the winter. If I would pipe, I would have a trap on the compressor and another in my paint room. My garage stays decently warm, but cools down in a hurry when the door opens to drive in or out.

You just need to pipe a drip leg prior to the final fitting up to the regulator, and add a ball valve there so you can easily open it and blow down the line.
Or use a tee facing up to attach the regulator so nothing on the bottom of the pipe gets up in there.
