I have a tenant living downstairs complaining that she can hear the
filter at night and it's bothering her. She sleeps directly below the
tank, and there is indeed a slight hummming. Would I be able to switch
off the filter at night from 10.30pm to 6.30am, or would this be a
major no no?

I have a 72 gallon freshwater tank, with a gravel and sand substrate
(no underground filter) and an AquaClear 110 filter.

Slip a sock between the glass and the bottom of the filter (this is where
the motor is located). Your downstairs tenant is probably getting the
vibration through the aquarium stand. If it works, replace the sock with
something more fireproof ;~).
