Last night I was working in the shop. My compressor reached it's low point, about 100psi and turned on. About half way through the charge, the sound changed instantly. It got louder, sounding more like an oil-free, but still nowhere near that loud. Near the end of it's charge, it started making an intermittent chirping sound. Just before shut-off, the chirping was constant. I tightened the belt and changed the oil, which seemed to help a little. After doing those and turning it on, it charged the full tank, from 0psi to 140psi with only one chirp. So I used the drill a bit. During the recharge it began chirping again, at about 135psi.
It is a Campbell Hausfeld 26-gallon oil-lubed 120V compressor.
Anyone know much about compressors?
