I've been watching a few youtube videos of other compressors and the quincy I have sure runs a lot faster and seems a lot noisier compared to these other brands on youtube. It's still a good bit quieter than my old oil less craftsman 33 gallon though, gonna call quincy on Monday and ask if I can put a different intake muffler on it. Looks like their 80 gallon version has a lot bigger muffler than my 60 gallon
