Is the compressor the NEW 1/5 hp quiet compressor, or the older model?

I am not sure it looks exactly like the picture I got it for my sister for Christmas.

It's not to bad! We have had several air compressors and this one is actually one of the more quiet compressors.

They are the same compressor. What I was sorry for, and I want you to be aware of that it is a 12 volt system and is not 110 volts. The info did not state this whey I purchased it, and I was shocked to find that it was not really what I wanted. However, I did find a place for it at our shore home. It blows up toys etc.

It is a hard machine to quiet. I tried different ways of mounting it and still could not quiet it down. The unit I had had a compressor that was extremely loud when it would kick in or kick out.

I think it was advertised as being quieter. I have not compared it, so I can't verify this.

I agree with Jeffery. The Makita, being an oiled compressor is extremely quiet. One of the best I've ever been around. Excellent compressor. We just did a garage roof about 16 square. Two Bostich coil guns and never a hitch. Yes, the compressor ran a lot but it never failed and the pressure control was very good so that we didn't drive nails through the architectural grade asphalt shingles. My only complaint is I'm old and it's heavy and tough to carry.

I bought the fan as a present to my daughter for Christmas. She says the new fan (2505) is quieter, but performs about the same as the old. However, she preferred the "louder" older model because the noise helped her to sleep better.

I have no idea what that part is. read the specs off the old compressor to see if they match up.

Yeah...no louder, though I do hear the compressor rattling around over bumps and on rough roads..

I don't think so! I think this one is the basic compressor, but i am happy, very happy with it..

I think that the one you are looking for is the 2088-422-444----also on amazon. It is quieter and will do the same job as yours. The one that I got will work also but it is a lot noisier----It might, however, pump with more pressure and volumn.

It's not listed in the owner's manual, you should call the manufacturer. Click on the owners manual in the following link. I'm satisfied with the noise level on the MAC700 in comparison to other portable compressors. This is my fourth compressor and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. http://www.makita.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=MAC700

Apparently it doesn't matter. I did have an older piston style compressor which I found out will not work well with a sound blanket. Definitely quiter though.

This is my first purchase and I am not sure how the other models are. I only know the one I bought (J8005) is super quiet. Really nice.

I don't think it is. But that being said, it is an awesome compressor. Very well made.

I would rate it below average for compressor noise. Meaning it isn't as loud as my larger one. Great compressor!

Is not very loud, sounds like a small air compressor running. I can hear mine run from outside closed garage.
