The tip has a male 1/8 NPT thread and so fit into any standard air tools, including a blowgun. The tip can stretch over and seal against the Presta valve body, but can be pulled off quickly too, unlike an adapter that threads onto the Presta valve body.
Which one do you have? Mine is quite loud so I would not mind an upgrade.
Mine is fairly quiet. Got an oil compressor from Home Depot. The oil free ones are very loud.
