I find the oilless compressors more anoying than the belt driven models. Just don't like the type of sound made by em. sounds like a Wagner power painter on steroids. I dunno about decible ratings. I have a Cambell Hausfield 60 gal vertical tank model. It is pretty loud. But I like it much better than the oilless I had. You mentioned reasonably priced.... You might try Northern Tool. They have a zero interest payment plan last I checked.
