 Seems pretty quiet to me.  I don't notice it at all.  My last skimmer with the eheim pump I think was noiser!  Maybe the curve 9 needs to be broken in a bit more then the noise will kick in ?  

  My stand is skinned with some pretty thick Ikea cabinet doors though, so maybe that helps to muffle it?  At any rate, compared the the last two skimmers that I had (Bubble Magus 220CS and Hydor), this one is a lot quieter.  I have no other frame of reference to compare to.
