Yah, I have problems with my air pump. I would like a very silent one as well. The one i have can be heard outside of my room despite where I set it at.
this is the one that i have

It bubbles really well and that gives off some noise, but most of the noise is from the air pump motor

hang it by a bungie cord. This helps to dampen the vibrations. Also helps to keep it out of the way of spills and such.
Also increase background noise in the area. Put an alternating fan in the room or a computer. Anything that would "mask" the sound and give a reasonible explaination for what is heard.

you can get a new bottom maount that is on rubber suckers , that one in the pic is the old style but the new mount helps a little with noise. that pump would drownd out my big one if it wasn't for the sound of bubbles. but i also have 6 hydor areo pumps like yours 1 has the old mount and makes a bit more noise.
