i have found most things in the industrial world that don't make much
noise aren't doing much work. i think this especially applies to
vacuums and blowers.


Not true. There are a lot of things that can be done to mitigate noise. Do
you buy the loudest car because it goes faster? The quietest because it gets
better gas mileage?


no, but since you brought it up, the fastest ones do make the most noise.
