I hear you Josh.
I asked my dentist about his compressor one time also.
He said it was real quiet but it was something like $2000 or more.
One that big would be cool for running a small touch-up gun also as it might be enough power to run one of the smaller ones. With the price though you could buy several at Sears that would handle the job with no problems.
When I get some extra money I am going to sell my Sears 1.5 hp 12 gal tank compressor and buy this baby:
That is a 6 hp, 25 gal tank belt-driven oil filled compressor.
Time for a "Tim the Toolman" grunt.... More power!
I could run a HVLP spraygun with this one no problem and it is fairly quiet for an industrial compressor.

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not
to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools
for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know
how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
