Nice little compressor. I wish they made them that quiet when I was a trim carpenter 30 years ago. I have the 3 gallon 1.5 hp version which is almost as quiet at 60db. Real easy to have a normal conversation while standing right next to it. It keeps up well and has a fast recovery. Works really well for drywall repairs too.
I bought one of these 9 months ago and it suddenly stopped today during very light duty. I bought it for very use indoors for home use, in my climate controlled garage. I have even had a bit of buyer’s remorse, thinking that this was overkill for my minor uses. I could probably count in my fingers the number of times I’ve connected the hose to use it. I have used it for occasional brad nailing (only used once to test that ability and works great) and blowing dust out of little projects. I used it today in the kitchen to blow dust/fuzz under the fridge radiator fins to dislodge so that the vacuum cleaner could pull it out. I connected it back up in the garage and suddenly it won’t turn on at all. Any thoughts? I could not find any kind of reset on it. Next step (horror!) is to try to dig up the manual for it.
I just had this happen to me actually and I think there is a sensor in it to prevent it from over heating . I thought it was done for I tried it a few days later and it fired back up .
Unfortunately, your audio signal chain has an auto-gain function in it somewhere which is programmed to eliminate sounds that it thinks are background noise, so your sound comparisons didn't really work effectively.
