Pump noise

Recommended Posts

I have a Simplicity 1600 DC pump, and having never had a sump before I’m not sure if this much noise is normal. Simplicity offered to exchange it for me, but before I buy a second pump and pay for shipping this one back, I wanted some other opinions on if this sounds louder then normal. It’s not like a pump sound I am used to, it’s like a constant Hrtz hum that can be heard through the room.

First off I am digging the aquascape. Secondly that is not a normal pump sound to me.

I have had really good luck with the Sicce Syncra silent pumps. Not sure of your location but The Reef in Indy carries these pumps and so does BRS (link below). They are real quite. Also be sure to get some good soft silicone tubing.
