I think it could be the size of the Fluval. I used to have a 304 and
it did not make much noise at all. I replaces it with a 404, which
makes some ratlly noises. You can hear it from few feet away. I later
added another 303 because the 404 is not big enough to handle 125 g.
You can tell the difference between these two in terms of noise level.
I guess the bigger one uses a bigger impeller which in turn makes a
bit higher level of noise.
=======================
Yes, that may be true. Just the size may make a difference. I do know
that mine started to sound like bee-bees were rattling around in the motor
part when the impeller needed replacing. And sometimes when air was trapped
in the well it would make a low irritating rattly type noise. I don't use it
anymore because it was such a hassle getting the top off to clean, then
getting it back on... Ugh! One clip broke and it leaked enough to have to
sit in an old coffee can. It's sitting out in the garage.
