Just wondering if I am over sensitive to noise compared to most. After setting up a little canister today I am still annoyed by the hum from the filter when I am sat next to the tank.
Everywhere I read says canisters are silent, you can't tell there on ... To me this would mean I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between when it is on or off (in a quiet room).
All my filters (eheim 2217 which has always been noisy, the Oase FiltoSmart 60 I have just setup and two JBL CristalProfi m Greenlines) at best sound at least as noisy as a fridge. I can hear the filters from the other side of the room. It is always the particular him which for me seems to cut through everything.
I have put vaseline on impellers (and replaced the impeller in the Eheim), made sure there is no air in the canister, cleaned them, tightened hoses ...
Moving parts = noise but are these people who say their filters are silent just less sensitive to it than me or is there something I am missing?
