WolfBox is noticeably louder than NiteCore. 87 dB vs 77 dB is actually a big difference due to the logarithmic nature of human hearing, and the recommended is stay below 85dB.
Some time ago, I actually tried both the Licorne and WolfBox, and true enough the WolfBox was actually causing my ear drums to hurt when used for extended periods, although people with already minor hearing loss would probably not notice it.
The Licorne is much more manageable noise-wise and still delivers strong performance (168 mph, 66 CFM, and 122g pressure), it was enough to blow a 500ml bottle off the table. For me, It's easily the real rank 1 as its safer for daily use.
