Canister Filters Loud?

[FEEDER]

It isnt a gurgling noise that is coming from the filter. It is the actual motor that is making the noise I think. When you fill a canister filter up with water to get it started how much water should you put in? I filled it about 3/4 full. Also has anyone had expierence with the Magnum 330 that could tell me if they are all this loud. It sounds like a fan set on the highest setting. I cant even hear the TV in my room!

A rattling noise means a bad bearing, a sound like gravel in a tumbler is bubbles.

my magnum 350 is more silent than any of my powerfilters. only time it makes noises is when it first primes itself after being turned off, or when some debris makes into the impellar area...

try checking the shaft, my eheim had similar problem until i replace the ceramic shaft which comes with rubber joints and a new cover.
