I was considering buying this to start off a few plants (Bubbleponics™ 6 Planter Starter Kit). First time grower. I was wondering if anyone has used this system before and had any feedback on performance. Also does it make noise?

If it is the same as areoponics, then yes i have just started to use on and it seems to be working well. It is very quiet..
Here it is

Here is a BC Mango only about 8 days old from seed. (the pic was taken on day 6)

what are those small rock things its growing in rather then dirt

Hydroton Pebbles (its in 1" rock wool surrounded by the pebbles, and the plants will never see soil)
Hydroton clay pebbles (or ''rocks'') are made from pH neutral clay. Their air to moisture ratio makes them ideal for hydroponics. They can be used to fill plastic net cups in aeroponic and NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) systems, as a medium for drip irrigation systems, or as a medium for container gardening. Hydroton is an expanded clay medium manufactured in Germany and is well suited for growing larger plants like tomatoes and peppers. It holds water extremely well and offers good capillary action. It is reusable, clean, and odorless. Perfect for passive, wick, and subirrigation use, individual hydroculture pots or hydroponic systems. Reuse over and over by rinsing out roots then sterilizing in a very mild bleach solution (about 1/2 cup per gallon of water). Rinse well before using.
