Mark

Does your compressor have rubber vibration pads under the three or four bolt down area's?  You could just have a noisy compressor.

I have had some machines that are noisy when they shut off and some that aren't. I think it is in the rubber feet. If you watch it shut off it really rocks when it is making the noise. I think it is either just the movement or something inside the compressor as it moves.

You guys are right.
The loud and painful shudder and rattle noise (when the compressor cycles off) was driving me crazy. I felt like my baby was in pain. So I finally just sat down on the floor next to it with the door open and realized that the noise didn't happen if I used my hand to ever so slightly raise the black compressor deck from the red metal frame underneath, even at just the front left bolt.

I then knew that I needed to get something rubber or plastic in there as a spacer and vibration absorber. Well, I dug around in my tool bench looking for rubber washers, etc. Then I remembered that I had a few of these clear plastic shims. They are small, but handy. (Keep one with you when you go to restaurants in case one table leg rocks the table).
Here it is:

I simply shoved it into the spot that needed it and now voila'! it is silent and smooth when it cycles off, each and every time.
Man, now I love my machine even more!

Here is the shim in action:

So do you think my compressor just doesn't have rubber vibration pads/feet at the bolts?
If not, where would I buy some: Global Compressors? Fun-Tronics?

The feet are where the compressor itself meets the mounting plate. At the point where your shim is it is metal to metal. depending on model there are one or two bolts that hold the compressor plate in. Those could possibly be loose, but I think your shim idea is great.
