Are the EHEIM or AirPod air pumps really as quiet/silent as a lot of people claim? I have the Tetra Whisper air pump and sometimes I can hear it humming/buzzing, especially when I open the door of my tank stand.
 
I haven't found an entirely silent pump yet, but I think most of the noise comes from vibration, not the pump itself. I sit my pumps on a thin piece of soft foam, which cuts down the vibrations and quiets the pumps to near zero sound.
 
I have an AquaTop that has a little hangy dealie. Minimal noise.

Right now everything is taken apart, but it's usually in back where you can't see it. Just make sure it's not touching anything.

ive found the Uniclife Nano Aquarium Air pumps to be completely silent.
