The only thing I can hear in my tank is the skimmer which is pretty quiet too. The Tunze ATO pump...that's another story! Holy crap that thing is loud! I have 3 of them, they are all loud! I agree with you on the pumps. It's a race to the bottom now, and I'm going to be awfully mad if some "poop" company puts Tunze out of business. I'm concerned when they've been talking about a new pump controller for like 2 years, but haven't put it out yet (that I know of).
I got the none-dimmable version so those fans are brutally loud at 9v which is recommended by ATI, I contacted ATI us and they said to run them at a lower speed but I have been told that they will shorten the life of the bulbs and ballast if it's ran below 9v. I have learned to live with it but it sure is nice when they turn off at 10 pm lol
