Anyone Have Firsthand Experience with a Champion VRV5-8?

Does anyone here have either the 1725 or 3600 RPM version of the Champion VRV5-8 compressor? I’d like to know how noisy these units are compared to other compressors in the $2,000 range.

Made a video a while ago using iPhone for decibel measurement of similar Champion, 5 hp, 80 gal, 2 stage, 1725 rpm. Compressor has been great and sound is not objectionable.

I have a Champion, 5 HP, 60 gal., 2 stage compressor, that runs at 805 rpm, and you can stand next to it, while running, and carrier on a conversation without a problem. Very quite.
