Quiet air compressors are a specific low noise version of normal air compressors. They can be advantageous in certain industries, where people may need a quieter environment to work in. They can also be useful if you need lots of compressors and the noise volume can become very loud, making it dangerous for staff members not to wear some kind of ear protection.

Some places that might choose to use a quiet air compressor are:

• Office buildings
• Studios
• Shops or other environments with customers
• Labs and surgeries
• Smaller workshops

It is possible to get compressors that are virtually silent. This may come as a price, as it is a desirable feature to have on an air compressor. Look out for models that give you this option and that are available through reputable suppliers. You may want to go and look at the compressor first hand before deciding to purchase it if noise is a big issue for you.
