Any recommendations on a good shop vac that’s not so ear piercing noisy. Even with hearing protection my Genie will give you a headache.

I like the Ridgid one I have. It is rectangular , so it’s easy to put away on a shelf, and it travels well. I loved it when I was doing service calls. It didn’t roll all around the van, & I could stack it on a hand truck with tool boxes and/or other equipment.
I triple filter it with a pleated filter, a regular paper disc over that, and then use a filter bag. Really keeps the dust down. I used to vac drywall dust in peoples houses without creating a bigger mess.
I’m not sure if they still make it though.

Was that the Homer bucket special form Home Depot?Whatever you do do NOT buy a current generation plastic fantastic "Shop Vac" brand junker. On mine, came from HD or Lowe's, don't remember, the top won't stay latched on, and the power switch worked THREE TIMES. That's right. I turned it on, off, and on again, and THE SWITCH FAILED JUNK!!!
