is the pump submerged or external?
The actual motor/vibration or the water from the overflow?

Choice of plumbing makes a huge difference. Is it hard plumbed or vinyl hose?

Alot of people grossly undersize the diameter of their plumbing. That can contribute to noise as well.

Look into Herbie-style plumbing. Once you've seen one in action, you'll never plumb a tank any other way.

If it helps watter runs over flow from tank threw socks over bio balls and pit scrubber some amonia and charcoal floods the bottom drawer into the tote where it gets heated and pumped back to tank
