Are hydrovanes really much quieter?

One of these might be the solution to @mrsbruce's noise problem?

Sadly, having spent all my money on other toys, err, tools, a hydrovane is beyond me now.

I have now drawn out some plans for my compressor kennel, but since they look like chicken scratchings, only I can understand them. Thing is, I can’t leave building it for too long, or even I will be scratching my head over them.

That's a cute thing.

One for sale on ebay. Needs fixing though.

Yes, many times.

I don’t know if the diaphragm in the second stage will let air past it and also how would you tell if the diaphragm had developed a rupture etc, but @Sergei Slovenija ‘s idea of firefighter device probably has that sorted (though availability is probably low)

Breathing apparatus for firefighters. There are probably some for sale (used). The membrane in the reducer must be set to atmospheric pressure, unlike scuba gear. I don't know how it's called in English. Previously, marine vessels were equipped with such devices to fight fires.
