Guy next door couldn't hear his Harley start.

Same here, they're more suited to a trailer or truck frame, and only if
there is rust/flaking paint, not to remove a thin coat of sound paint.


Does dropping the air pressure help?

It helped tell me I needed a bigger compressor.

They do about the same job as a weldor's chipping hammer, but faster.
I think an air hammer with an angled chisel bit might be better on
thinner painted metal.
