Hi, could you tell me the noise level of the two vacuum pumps you propose? Is it different? Is the high capacity model louder?

Thank you

Both the Vacuum Pumps are certainly much quieter than a typical garage air compressor.

Putting the pump on a thin rubber mat/sheeting would certainly damp down the transmitted vibrations. When I worked on Submarines, most of the machinery was damped using rubber mountings or rubber mats so it will definitely help.
