I have seen a few diy mods that are very easy to do and work great. Just google: aqua c remora sound baffle.
I do have two aqua c remoras laying around (1 hob, 1 in sump) and a surface skimmer/bubble trap for the hang on version if interested. I will try one of these mods and let you know how it works if you want. Just trying to save you some money.
I have tried the mod from the following link:

It reduces the noise like 60% but it is still pretty loud to me. Maybe there is something wrong with the skimmer I have. From what I have read, the skimmer should be pretty silent after the mod.
