Pros & Cons
Pros
Putting it in a cabinet with sound proofing helped but still noticeable hum.
It's larger than expected (slightly bigger than the open hand of a tall person), but this isn't a problem unless your shelf space is at a premium. It's very powerful and moves a lot of air.
Great product, runs nicely. Overall very pleased with transaction. These air pumps are awesome.
Cons
Just another example of corporate greed. This is way too loud and seems to be getting louder each day. There is quieter alternatives out there that will give you better results.

Is a bit noisy but can dial it down if it bothers me but that means less bubbles also but they all make some noise
