I don't have a decibel meter either, but I use an iPhone app to do it. Might not be the best and most accurate / sensative, but it's consistent at least.
I should be getting some decibels back from Simplicity today, I'll update you on what they say. Crossing my fingers I just have a really bad pump and a replacement will solve everything.

I have the tank finally set up and running. I’ll post a more in-depth update later but so far the 120DC skimmer seems to be pretty silent. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone and was getting 58. That was with overflow water noise (no filter socks installed yet) and plenty of background noise. I put my ear right to the sump and I can’t hear any pump noise but I’m also not particularly sensitive to noise. Sounds like maybe you got a bad pump?
