I looking for a new air pump and I don't want to hear it buzzing away in my living room. What is the absolute quietest air pump out there? Thanks for any input.
 
pretty quiet

i use about 12 of these and i cant hear any noise from them. i use the 100 gallon tank size

I have been thinkin about this since mine tends to move to the side and vibrate against the side of the stand. I have been thinkin about having something (wood or metal) glued or screwed down to the stand and get something like a thin flat piece of styrofoam with cut outs for the legs so that it wont go anywhere. I know its a little out of place but maybe someone could use the idea.
 
I set mine on a piece of soft foam. It is quiet to start with and now there is NO noise at all.
 
i use an airwhist air pump. it is so quiet its amzing. it is waaaay quieter than the rena 200 i used to have. even the tetra air pump that the guy with that annoying cat avatar has was'nt as quiet as this airwhist. and its a few light years quieter than that hagen 802 air pump i bought- that thing sounded like a bulldozer.

i recommend them heavily. best i have ever used.
figures its made in japan, not china or italy. nothing against italian chicks, they're usually smoking hot.
 
my licking cat annoys you LOL thanks for the chuckle
 
if yours sounds like a mack truck i would take it back as defective mine are silent
 
i use an ehiem twin air pump, very quiet and even comes with attachable difusers. Fully adjustable.
 
My whisper is quiet but I certainly wouldn't say silent. Quieter than the ceiling fans... noisier than our air conditioning. Overall- just background hum but not loud.
