I've never been around a quiet band saw. Mines easily as loud as my table saw. To be fair, my table saw runs smooth as butter, but the band saw has some slight imbalance I've been chasing for a couple of years.
None of them sound like the router though. It's a banshee from a nightmare. I don't even like using it when it's mounted.
