i can confirm this ive got a tetratec Aps50 and its really quiet, it has runner feet which absorb alot of the vibrations. only noise u get off it comes from the bubbles in the tank

I am partial to the Rena air pumps. If you turn them down, they are adjustable, they get dead quiet.

I was going to buy a tetratec the last time but read about problems with the diaphragm breaking up too soon. I don't know if it's true.
I got an eheim 3704(for up to 400L tank) instead and it doesn't make any noise at all even on the highest setting. It's the best I've had.
