It is always a gamble with pumps and reviews of the noise level of them, it is such a subjective area. I have had pumps-like Eheim 1262- that people swear are silent drive me up a wall with their humming. The one truly dead silent pump- that is zero noise with no other ambient noise around it- was the velocity external pumps. Discontinued as that brand, but sold under "Laing" pumps. Lagunas are ones that all have said are dead silent- including ATB and MSX plus skimmer adaptions. No personal experience yet, but I will be trying likely a Laguna or the ATB version very soon. Other than that....the water blaster, Sicce Syncra, and Eheims are all comparable noise wise, very quiet but in no way silent.
