I'm after a small portable compressor that allows you to set the pressure you want it to maintain (down to 2psi for finding vacuum leaks in emissions systems), and which will work silently (when it's not refilling the tank). What's the entry level price for something like that? I've been using a digital tyre inflator up till now, the main problem being that there's no tank, so it's always making a loud noise while it's running.

Yep, that's it exactly - thanks
I've actually built my own smoke machine and was looking for the compressor to actually blow the smoke. After experimentation I found a Halfords bike pump with buit-in PSI gauge actually worked pretty well - not completely silent in operation, but virtually silent compared to the digital tyre inflator.
