I second this one, There is just a slight hum from my tank and it is probably from the 4 pumps running my 2 skimmers.

on my 40gal reef the loudest part is the skimmer for sure, its the injector thats loud (remora HOB skimmer) I tried putting foam in there but doesnt seem to help much.

as for my 35gal with sump I would say its the water rushing into the sump, next time I would do 2 or 3 smaller pipes rather than one big one..
