Help with replacement pump

I recently bought a sump pump but it is very loud due to head pressure. Resun sp6000 (2800L)

After much research I have found the following and would like opinions or any help possible

Eheim compact 3000+
Eden 155 or 159
Tunez silent

I am after somthing quality and very importantly silent

I have no experience with any of the three you are looking at. But I do have experience with a Resun King pump. The thing was hot garbage, and louder than I'd expect a 3hp pump to be. My Mag 9.5 is silent in comparison, and many people complain about the noise of Mag drives. In short, I'm pretty sure you can find a V8 engine quieter than a Resun without much trouble. Any of the three pumps you are looking at should get the job done. You can also consider Laguna, Water Blaster (rebranded Laguna), Sicce, and many of the new DC pumps.

Eheim pumps are super quiet. My tank is next to the couch in the den and it has to be super quiet. I tried a mag5 and mag7, they are now in my pond. Noisey!
