Anybody know whats the most quiet and strong 100 duty air compressor out in the market today?

 

I had the Viair 480, that wasn't too bad.
Now I have two Viair 380's and they rattle pretty loud.

 

I'm running a Viair 480C, mounted under the xB and it isn't too loud...at least nothing my sound system can't cover up.

 

it all depends on where you mount it, and what its secured too.

If your mount to metal, with out any type of rubber spacer its going to be loud.

If you mount it to metal with a rubber spacer it'll be a lot quieter.

If you mount it to wood (mdf) it'll be super quiet and you'll barely notice it.

Viar 450/480C's are great, as well as Air Zenith.

 

I run dual 480s on my new truck, they are way quieter, then the single 380 that was under my scion.

could fab an engine driven compressor, then you'll never even know its running.

 

Be sure to use the supplied extension line for the filter. Thats what make it quiet. Dont just throw it out and attach the filter directly on the compressor just cuz it looks better. Dual 400 Viair is rated to have the highest cfm's. Bigger isn't always better.

 

I had a engine driven York compressor in my jeep, and yeah, never knew when it was on. That's what i'm gonna try to do in the XB when i go to air.

 

The HP1000 puts out 8cfm, twice the Viair setup!
