Quietest airpump

I starting a small tank ( a fry tank) in my bedroom a I'm going to be running an air pump and I was wondering what air pump does everyone think is the quietest.
The one that sits in your closet. It´s not the pump that wakes me up it´s the noise of bubbles escaping the water and the flipping of the bioweel filter...
 
Forgot about my Rena 400. Very quiet.

v/r, N-A

^wow how what kind of supplys are you gonna be running off a 100gal pump?!
The number is in litres... (100L = ~26G) ;) I have an AP200 on my 36 gallon with 2 air stones and a fizz block... Needless to say, there's bubbles for days! I don't leave it on all the time though. Maybe 2-3 days a week. And it isn't quiet.
 
Completely silent!

Venturi Style. I do not own one, but my LFS had one in a tank on display. Very cool for a small tank.

ok now what about the smallest airpump? I need one for the comp desk that has my 1gal on it.
 
All you hear is bubbles. The motor is in the water, with an airline to the surface. There may be a slight sucking noise, but I could not hear it.
 
i dont hear bubbles...maby cause i set mine on low...looks more better with slow riseing big bubbles then 1million small ones racing to the top.
