I have a little Hilti that goes on cabinet installation jobs with me. It's so quiet you can barely hear it run. On the other hand, I have an old Craftsmen and a newer Porter-Cable that are terribly loud. If I wasn't half-deaf and nearing retirement, they would be on the list to replace.
One thing that I did was to replace that miserable bleed screw with a few pipe fittings and an easily accessible ball valve. When living in Arizona, I learned that you NEVER put your hand into a dark place under a machine!
