Pump vibration.

[Eupterus]

My neighbors are complaining about the pump powering an airstone in a brine shrimp tank. How I can quiet vibration noises from an air pump and stop them from vibrating through the walls?.

Turn up the music loader so they complain about that instead? :

Honestly, I don't know.

Normally I try to get quiet equipment because I have to listen to it too if it's noisey.
But thing is, I don't want to replace equipment for what is going to be a temp setup, esepcially when I have a heap of older air pumps I can use.

Try setting it on a scrap piece of carpeting to absorb some of the vibration, if it is a small pump that should quiet it down some.

You can try to put the pump on top of a sponge, or folded up towel. The vibrations is probably traveling from your desk/floor to the walls because there isn't anything soft to absorb it.

Place it flat on the carpet.

Hang it from fishing line so it is free in the air...

i've always used a folded towel to quiet the vibes

I saw somewhere once that someone had it dangling in a glass jar with a slit/hole in the lid for the cord.

If you have it choked back to reduce the flow, you could add a tee and valve and bleed off excess air and reduce backpressure on the pump.
