Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a rocking piston compressor comprising a head plate having at least one inlet and silencer port, an exhaust and an exhaust port. The compressor may comprise valve plate coupled to the head plate and having a sound attenuation chamber and an exhaust chamber. The compressor may have at least one silencer selectably coupled to a head plate silencer port and disposed within the sound attenuation chamber. The compressor may also comprise an air tube having a first end selectably coupled to the head plate air tube port and a second end disposed within the valve plate exhaust chamber. The air tube may be configured to accelerate air flow from the second end toward the first end.
