Yeah it looks like a nice quality piece, however this being my first house im trying not to spend a whole bunch of money. Got the first house nervousness ha.
Would one of these belt driven compressors be quieter than my oil less 30 gallon craftsman? It is so loud you just about have to yell to the person next to you.

I recorded my Craftsman pro belt driven model running, roughly 78 db 4-5 feet away.
Belt + oil = pretty quiet (in comparison)
Yes, I swtiched from a 25 gal oilless craftsman to a 60 gal belt driven Sanborn compressor, much quieter. Still loud, but it's a lower tone and isn't nearly as annoying when it runs.
RUN as fast as you can from any OILlLESS compressor!! I had a 60 gallon CH (Craftsman) 6 HP. vertical twin These are loud and it broke connecting rods on me 3 differrent times in 2 years at over 200$ per rebuild. the rebuilds cost more than the original sale price! (bought on sale) at the 3rd set of rods going I junked the entire head assembly and installed a regular 2 cylinder 4 Hp compressor/motor unit from a old 20 gallon CH portable with a bad tank I'm much happier with the conventional belt driven unit it does everything the old unit did quieter checking oil is a small price to pay for having the better service the old used parts have already outlived the "New" compressor and I don't expect I'll have any trouble seiung that I have 3 other versions of the portable here ones over 30 years old a CH (Craftsman) 1 HP 10 gallon my FIL bought back in 71 and it got used for everything here.
