Does anybody have, or know something about, Eaton? Especially, how quiet it really is? It looks good, but there's nothing like personal experience.

various sound levels. The level for a washing machine is 55 - 75 dba at 3'. Assuming the Eaton measurement is at a similar distance, the compressor is a bit quieter than a washing machine at its noisiest (agitate cycle, I suppose). I'd say that's pretty quiet.
