it may still need that breaking in period who knows.. there really is no vibration causing the noise as such just the hum of the pump. i was concerned about this pump before i purchased it but there is no information on the web and no one really seemed to know much about it. just have to take it day by day and see how it goes.. as for the plug by the time i finally got the skimmer inthe sump even if the plugg wiggled a bit it wont go far lol thanks for the info tho.
