Yes, Campbell Hausfeld 5hp 26 gallon.
Unsure whether to trust, but they claim that cast
iron cylinders are 35% quieter than cast iron sleeves
in aluminum. As well, because of the steep ratio between
the tiny motor pulley and the pizza sized compressor
pulley, the compressor is turning very slowly.
The main sound the compressor makes actually is the
motor whirr combined with the air sound made by the
fan on the large pulley that cooles the compressor. There
hardly any "pumping" sound made from the compressor
unit itself.
