By coincidence I was in my dentist's office a few weeks ago and noticed that 
when their compressor came on it was pretty loud.  It sounded like it was in a 
closet, and sounded almost like a normal pancake compressor.  It wasn't TOO 
loud, but it was very obvious when it was running.  It didn't run very long 
though.
