as the title says how would i go about to make my water pump in my sump quieter (a lot quieter) or even better silent! the loud pump just adds to the water splashing noise & its too loud and annoying (motor noise),(which im gonna fix by extending the pipe down more so its submerged underwater)
so any inputs?

i dont know what kind of pump it is it came with the tank i bought its grey
(ill ask the guy and update on which pump it is)
the sump is a acrylic tank divided into 2 sections. one side has the return with the pump and the other side the drain which flows (waterfall style) into the return section pretty simple sump with pvc pipes and a acrylic tank. ( i put pipe insulators or w/e on the pipes so they wont make noise from vibrating) its just the motor noise that bugs.
i have th esame pump and i hate it a way to help with your problem is to put foam or a sponge under it also to insulate and stuff your stand with foam it really helps but the pump still vibrates a little im actually looking for a new one
Maybe try to put a piece of styrofoam under the pump? Basically it's vibrating off the acrylic of the sump. I have that problem every now and then and I just re-position the pump and the noise goes away.
Get a better pump. Eheim pumps are known for their quietness.
You can also put some sort of vibration absorber at the bottom of the pump to reduce the vibration of glass.
I used a sponge and 2 filter pads sewed top and bottom
