What is the most quiet return pumps?

[JPotter]

I am interested in this thread as I have recently set up a 120gal sps tank and the noise from the return drives me nuts!! I have the sump in a closet..the sump is on styrofoam and the pump is submersed and on neoprene. When the return is off the other pumps in the sump are hardly noticeable.

I don't want to go with minimal flow..would rather too much than too little. Are these Red Dragon pumps seriously quiet? What size would be preferable for a 120 gal tank.

Thx

Dragons are seriously quiet but they are also seriously expensive.

I have an Eheim 1260 and while it is not dead silent it is very, very quiet and has been absolutely bulletproof.
