Bewst way to remove paint from a dado rail

I'm currently redecorating my hallway, and want to remove all the paint from the dado rail which was painted by the previous owners.
I've been using a detail sander today - the results are ok, but not brilliant, and I'm also worried about the noise disturbing my neighbours who have young children.
Is there a quieter, better way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Nitromorse (sp) sandpaper and a hacksaw blade to clear the groves, stripped down Victorian dado rails look miles better than new ones in a period property.0
