Default Do Any Air Compressors Have This Feature?

Can I get an air compressor that warns me before it starts up?

I'm up on the ladder, sneaking my probe into a ceiling junction box
and the damn compressor starts up. Really?

How about a little beep-beep-beep or a tone or better yet "Hi, this is your
air compressor. Is it OK if I start up?"


I suspect it only starts up when the pressure drops...


Yep, that's usually why they start.

Find the leak in the hose or the compressor and your issue should be

no longer

Yep, my PC nail guns do appear to slowly let some air leak.

(unless I am missing something of course)


Nope, but even if it isn't a leak, even if it starts up through normal usage
(nail guns, tire filling, blowing out a line, etc.) it would still be nice
to have a quiet warning instead of 0 dB to 80 dB in a split second.

(I'm not seriously asking for this feature, just saying that it would be nice.)
