    I have a 2 outlet pump running a bubble cloner I hung it from the ceiling with a chain to quiet it a little but it is still louder that the 4 fans I have in my 400 watt hps bloom chamber. I think all of the low end pumps are loud.

    Its the surface you have the air pump on most likely. They do vibrate a little and are queitest when placed on wood. Meijer's sells 'quiet' air pumps for like $15.00 in the pet department. I have two of them for my four tanks. VV

    Try to suspend the pump, or at least make sure, it doesn't make other things vibrate. A lot of times, the pump will calm down, if it gets some resistance - in other words, narrow your air outlet.
    Best of all, get a fish-tank, and that's your excuse for having the pump, and other little things you may need. On top of it you get to enjoy having a fish tank! Always lots of little noises coming from those things, and light and water, and what not.

    I think the quietest pump was the Supra 4
    The Silent Giant has been out of production for some time but you might search aquarium lists and find a used one.
    They were very reliable
