  Never can tell, the new one could be even better.  Might try and swing 
by my Walmart today, and see what they have.  If it's anywhere near the 
$19 I paid for this one, may pick up a spare and try it out, then take 
it back if it's worse and find a spare myself while it can still be 
tracked down..

  Not sure if the actual sound pressure level is all that much lower, 
but the sound itself is much less annoying.  Dremel starts being 
annoying around 2 on the 5 scale, this one at 4 on the 6 scale is quite 
decent and even all the way up isn't too terrible.  I got this as a back 
up hand tool, to mount the Dremel on the CNC.  It was quite noticably 
enough better that it got stuck on the CNC instead and the Dremel is the 
back up..  If I had much to do I'd unmount this one before using the 
Dremel much.
