What do the commercial units use? When I ran a flatbed press years ago, I don't remember a deafening roar. In fact, I can't even imagine what it would have been like in my first shop with seven or eight presses running with big shop vacs!

mimosatexas:
Both of my clamshells are pretty loud.  They aren't shopvac loud, but they are also enclosed in the base of the press.  You could build a box around the shopvac to dampen the noise.

Gilligan:
Plumb it out somewhere else... Just like an air compressor.

Whole home vacuums put their unit in the garage and that is one of the reasons.

Some pvc and a relay and you've removed almost all the noise.

Put it outside in an enclosure and plumb it in with rigid pvc or the like....or get out the chequebook,:
