My direct drive is out in my toolshed. I don't hear it AT ALL! Nor does it
have any cold weather issues like an oiled compressor would.

I second the notion about two-stage compressors. 175 PSI means more
nut-bustin' torque and more energy stored in the tank. Having said that,
for the first 30 years of my automotive career I had a 20 gallon 2hp single
stage compressor that painted many cars and busted many nuts. My single
recommendation is to get a belt-drive compressor. The High-speed wail of a
direct drive unit will drive just about anyone nuts. I had a 30 gallon
two-stage direct drive for about a week and couldn't stand it. I returned
it to Sears and got a belt drive and have never looked back.
