VERY NOISY ~ is there a way to make it more quiet?

Make sure that the magnet is seated properly in the housing, also make sure the riser tubes aren't loose.

Try running it without the long suction tube in place. Just fill the reserve with water so you can see if there's a problem with the impeller blade. When it's noisy, that usually means you have a pocket of air caught at the impeller, and by removing the long tube, this won't be possible.If it's still noisy after about 10 seconds, you have a bad Tetra.

You can put a rectangular generic filter sponge on the out put, it diffuses the water flow and makes it quieter.

I do not think it is very noisey. In fact I have opened it up to see if it was working because it is so quiet.

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

Not as quiet as I'd like. We don't use the heated water, so really have no experience with that. The cooling, at times, can be heard in an "almost" annoying fashion.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

It shouldn't be that loud! Mine is roughly a month old and it's only "noisy" when it it isn't full of water. Try filling to the max, if that doesnt help try cleaning the motor. Other than that it could be a bad motor......

I'm afraid it is not particularly quiet. It is efficient, but if is "buzzy."

I don't know of a way, but I agree that it's not very loud. I suggest you set another timer with a louder beep as a backup!

It's terribly loud. It's a great looking fan, but very annoying! Keep shopping unless you will be using the fan very little.

It's pretty loud. I'd compare the sound level to a vaccuum cleaner or a dust buster maybe.

The only solution i found was to put a bit of electrical tape on the holes on the top of the unit, it muffles the sound a bit. But it is still too loud for my tastes.

Don't know because mine is not noisy. Maybe you should call the owner/manufacturer and ask. He is very helpful and nice to do business with.

Mine is noisy too, but I have it in a closed utility room. With the utility room door closed, it is not objectionable. Love the pressure boost!

Mine is also very noisy but I think it is because it is very small and there is not any padding.

I have exactly the same problem. It is very loud and annoying to others in the room. I thought maybe slipping a piece of plastic cut from an old milk bottle between the seat and the rail might help but haven''t tried it yet.

I would think so you can adjust the volume to really loud.. all sorts of fan sounds etc.. I have mine really low and blocks out TV etc.. from next room and barking dogs across the street..
