Have you tried to put something uderneath the pump to help with the vibration noise? I have heard of people using mouse pads. give that a try before you buy another pump.

I think it's noisy too.
I consider my Mag 7 is noisy. I don't have experience of using other return pumps so I can not make comparison here. I'd put cushion under it too. Actually I think the NW pump of my Corallife super skimmer 125 is noisier.

The only pumps that are consistently regarded at "silent" or close to it are the eheim pumps.
