RMCG thanks for posting your experience. Certainly not as loud as I had expected given the comments in response to my question. It actually sounds wisper quiet with the loudest noise being when you covered the air intake with your hand.
I can see if I can grab a better vid of it 'starting up' as that is when it is the loudest. Definitely a jet engine whine to it. Then it has sort of a table saw/sewing machine 'hum' to it. I don't know what it sounds like when there is pressure load on it either, just free-flow like that. I will assume load will make it louder too.
Start up also has power reqs. I think when it spools up, it uses 900w/2A, then when running, is ~200w @ 20".
