i've used them in computers. Don't bother, I think. Our pumps produce similar noise signatures to computer fans and that noise proofing doesn't solve it. It only made computer cases super heavy.

Ian, Ya both pipes are submerged. My setup is one drain from Tank, into two sump lines. One at each end of the sump. Skimmer>pump<Refugeum Is my plan, but dont think I'll have enough room in 10g sump. Quite a bit of air comes down the Durso drain. I have small air holes drilled into the top of the Durso too, 6 .045" holes. Just enough to stop the water in the overflow from surging. Most my noise is from Durso gurgling too.

i've used DynaMat. It's like a compressed tar material. Didn't work on computers very well.

Dynamat is more for deep, low frequency sounds. Not fans and Pumps. I have installed many pounds of Dynamat in my vehicles
