Could just an intake muffler and oil bath filter make that much of a
difference? Or does a belt guard add that much to noise?
The intake muffler certainly could. A large part of compressor noise is
from the intake - one of several reasons that plumbing the intake to the
outside is often a good idea (though muffling it is probably _also_ a
good idea if doing that in a residential neighborhood.)
That also was a large part of the noise from old VWs, even the very first
water-cooled ones. Intake noise can be suprisingly loud, especially if you
have a good muffler on the output end.
