Quietest machine?

[OwlsDen]

So what is the machine with the lowest running DB rating? I am asking about loaded with needle and tube and actually tattooing. Not the just attached to a powersupply and running. I know the real swash drive is pretty quiet. As is the Cheyenne. But what about the others? Any suggestions?

NeoTat is the quietest machine of the three rotaries that I have.

The Neo Tat or the New Neo Tat Vivace? I am really considering a Neo Tat. I think I want the older one though. I think it was lighter.

The Bishop is very silent but my Swiss Rotary is almost noiseless

I have limited experience with rotaries. I have played with a real swash gen 6 and a fake one, I liked them both but thought of them as black and grey machines. I want a machine for lining that is quiet. I have played with a Swiss machine but only to run it not to tattoo with it. I also didn't think of it as a liner. The Bishop and the Neo ( both similar in concept I think ) seem like good liner machines. It may seem strange but one of the biggest selling points of rotaries is how quiet they are.

Hawks are pretty much silent. The quietest I have come across.

from my experience it's a tie btween the Whip and the Neo Tat

[OwlsDen]

I like the Hawk, but I hate that the tubes aren't reall autoclave able. As the more you clean them the sooner they break. And the cost too damn much. I can almost get on board with the expensive needle cartridges but too much money for the grips. Neo Tat really looks like the best bet. Thank you guys so much. What is your suggestion? The original or the Vivace? The Vivace is heavier right?
