Default Quietest return pump

I think I may have bought a bum pump, or their is a piece missing. I took it all apart today, and it appears thattheir is a bit of play in the shaft I think this is causing the noise.

Any way I need another return pump. I will be buying new this time, and would like at least 1200 GPH preferably a bit more.

Any reccomendations out there. I am not rich, but willing to pay for the right product. Is there such thing as an "Eheim" like quiet return pump?

Robb

I've got to say I'm really happy with my Mag 7 for return. I don't even have it insulated agains the bottom of my sump and I hardly hear it when I have the stand doors open.
I played with a Mag 12 briefly and it was quite a bit noisier, but the 7 is a peach.
