You need to make a silencer.

Two mouth wash disposable cups taped together rim to rim like <>

Put some cotton balls in there. Punch a hole in one end big enough to put the air line in and an equally large hole on the other end. You will be surprised how well it works.

You can make a more elaborate one but that stuff is usually stuff that is laying around and will help quiet it down until then.
