Default Looking for opinions on Eaton compressors

I'm thinking of putting together a compressor using this pump:
http://www.eatoncompressor.com/catal...643/184117.htm

Does anybody have, or know something about, Eaton? Especially, how
quiet it really is? It looks good, but there's nothing like personal
experience.

Thanks,
Bob

I partially answered this. The Eaton web page says that the pump
generates 73 dba (at what distance?). This page:
http://www.rfcafe.com/references/gen...ound_level.htm
shows various sound levels. The level for a washing machine is 55 - 75
dba at 3'. Assuming the Eaton measurement is at a similar distance, the
compressor is a bit quieter than a washing machine at its noisiest
(agitate cycle, I suppose). I'd say that's pretty quiet.
