A quiet fluid compressor which is made up of a motor, a compressor, and a storage tank. The motor and the compressor are cylindrical in shape and are joined to each other. The tank is cylindrical in shape and has a central open area going from the top to the bottom of the tank. The compressor/motor unit fits within this open area. The tank surrounding the compressor/motor unit absorbs noise created by the compressor. There is a top opening of the central open area. This opening is covered by a louvered cover containing sound-absorbing foam which prevents emanation of sound. There is a bottom covering containing a plurality of openings which breaks up the sound and prevents redirection of sound through the top opening. The inside of the tank is coated with sound-absorbing foam.
