Thing's will quiet up a little after a few weeks of having the tank running. Thing's need to get "slimed" up and you will notice a diffrence in sound.

Quinn also asked me the same question you did.

You also have to remember Sean that your going from having "0" noise on your current sumpless tank to having a sump so there will be a little bit of noise no matter what you do. Good thing it's not in your room
