I have something similar. I release the pressure in the tank after use, so that means if I need to inflate before going out I have to turn it on to fill the tank and then inflate. Do you leave your tank under pressure?
My garage (when it's not an art studio) is also my woodworking shop. The compressors are on all the time for nailers/staplers and, therefore, the quiet aspect is greatly appreciated. Previously, I had pancake units (Porter-Cable and el-cheapo Harbor Freight) that I used in the same way. They were "Harley straight pipe" noisy but the only failure was a compressor crank bearing after 10-yrs in one of the PC units.
The quiet compressors use a low rpm, high torque motor to drive large diameter pistons. Very nice to work around vs the old loud units.
I knocked, but the door was open.......
