Ideal filter for 5 gallon shrimp tank (Quiet)

[Tommy10]

I have my planted shrimp tank up and running in my room. The only problem is the cheap internal filter is super loud. I need to know the best and quietest filter for this tank. Thank you!

You could just run a sponge filter or two.

x2 sponge filter. But I run AC20 on my 5g shrimp tanks because I don't like to have an air pump buzzing around.

Yeah the sponge is quiet but those air pumps, not so much.
I wouldn't normally advise them but just in terms of noise, I have a top fin 10 hang on back filter that is dead silent. Its relatively new but so far you can only tell its running by seeing the water slide across the surface.

If you're looking for a small canister, Zoo Med Nano 10, or an Aqueon PowerFilter, mine is on my 16 and the only way I can tell it's running is from the silent humming noise, which is hard to hear 4 feet away.
