Motor is quiet
4 Stars
Motor is quiet
I have this filter for my 10 gallon tank. I bought this to replace a very noisy filter we had before. I like that you can’t hear the motor however I am not a bit fan of the running water sound. At night you can hear it in the other rooms. It’s pretty loud. But happy it’s not the motor. No humming sound which is also a plus. Pressure is a little strong but not to bad.
Thank you for your feedback
