Never realized how much noise both our AC return pump and our HOB siphon drain made until we swapped to a DC return pump (silicone tubing to absorb vibration), and a Herbie style drain mod. So much quieter.

Haven’t put my ear up to my aquarium yet but I do LOVE the Hum of the pumps, the Whispering of the fans on the lights, and the Fizzing of CO2 into the Calcium Reactor!!!

I like the noise. Recently I noticed something was off with the equipment because the overflow was sounding different so there's that.

Downside is now every water sound I hear wakes me up at night (dish washer, washing machine, shower etc.)

I actually asked BRS once if they could include this data in with their reviews.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

I believe db ratings should be included yes
