There has got to be one that is quieter?

It looks like the unit that is sold by Comp Cams.

Thanks for posting that. Looks like a Dartmouth Engineering undergraduate student?

Many cars use vacuum pumps for brakes, mostly turbo cars. I bought a new pump from ebay that was from a VW 1.8T, it did not seem that loud on a test run on the bench.
I also bought a vac reservoir from http://evsource.com/tls_braking_system.php It has the gauge, one way valve and switch all included. I fitted one to my sons Saab which we upgraded the engine on and the vac pump did not work as we wanted. With the tank, the pump sometimes runs when you turn the car on then stops, pump the brakes a few times and the pump runs and turns off, much better brakes now.
I see this company also sell a quiet vac pump.
