Predictably, there is a connection between an air compressor’s noise level and its price, with quieter ones being more expensive. Because of that, you may be tempted to buy a louder one, as these offer better performance at lower prices. This may be just fine if you have a large property and a dedicated room to put the compressor in. However, if it’s going to be in your garage, the noise it generates will quickly start to annoy you. To make things worse, your family and neighbors won’t appreciate the constant rattle, either.
