Default looking for the quietest pump

I currently have a mak 4 on a closed loop with a scwd and it is too loud. Thia tank is in my living room and I need a Silent pump. What would be the quietest pump I can get with about the same flow as the mak 4. Thanks

for closed loop the sequence Dart does a good job and is quiet. It's not pressure rated as much as the Mak4. But you dont need that for closed loop.

The Poseidon pumps are silent as well. The ps4 has 1 inch barb fittings. I use a ps4 as a return pump and a ps3 on a CL. They do run a little on the hot side but cooler than the iwaki rxlt30 I was running. That sucker could cook bacon!

We carry many different brand of pumps & RED DRAGON is by far the quietest pump ,it is dead silent ,a bit pricey but very low in electricity consumption as well.
