Does anybody have a recommendation for the quietest shop vac on the market with good power? I have an old craftsman 3HP hooked up to my blast cabinet to keep dust down and it works well it is just too unbearably loud.

From what I read the red and blue pex is UV resistant. I am not worried about it as this will not be a 10+ year solution. I can't imagine I will be at this shop more than a couple of years. So far so good on the pex.. I like it.
