I don't think I'll run an external return pump again because of it. You do get used to it after a while though, just sort of fades in to the background.
Piece of advice - order replacement seals now. Yours will eventually start to rust and it sucks knowing that the need replacing (evidenced by the rust and salt creep starting to appear outside of the pump - very disconcerting) while you wait for the new ones to show up in the mail.

Yeah, I think Rich (bblinks) has a reeflo dart gold? His is pretty quiet.
I might sell this one and try the gold version with the baldor motor.... Anyone here have a reeflo dart gold that can chime in on the noise vs the regular reeflo dart?
And good tip on the seals! Guess I can swap them out with the ones I buy while I wait for the warranty ones to come in the mail haha

How loud is the motor on your barracuda?
