Air Compressors - Home Garage Friendly?

[Speedfreak]

I've been wanting an air compressor for my garage, but would like to hear feedback about all the different types of compressors there are these days. Are there any that are very quiet? Are any of the smaller compressors able to support die grinders?

My main wants are:
- As quiet as possible.
- Able to handle impact wrenches and air ratchets with ease.
- Relatively small footprint.
- Able to be used with a plasma cutter.
- Able to be used with air die grinder? (is this doable?, this is where I get lost of most compressors capabilities)

Any other feedback or suggestions I'm not thinking of wanted!
