Is the pump recent? Is it pulling air in? I have only problems with them once they get a couple of years in them, or if they run dry. Otherwise they are very quiet.
I have one old pump and one brand new pump. Both loud af. I shake both inside the reservoir so there’s no air in them. Even if I have the pump suspended inside the reservoir not touching any sides, it’s still loud. I was able to quiet it down a bit by setting the controller to the lowest setting. But still loud.

Agree with noel. The Tunze pump is so loud. My tank is in the basement (fully insulated) and I can hear the pump turn on from my living room.

Maybe I will try lowering flow to the lowest setting but not holding my breath.
