I've had several air-stone/pumps with various old aquariums, i've
browsed all around for a quiet one when i bought the juwel and couldnt
find a totaly quiet pump anywhere ! (when i mean quiet i mean TOTALY
quiet).

the ventury doesnt work, and when it does, its also very noisey, it
sounds like a kid is sucking the last drops of his cola with a straw...
that sucks cuz i did want some extra oxygen...

No need - as long as the surface is moving (test with a pinch
of flake and see if it moves round) you are getting sufficient
oxygenation into the tank.

At first like an idiot i put the venturi kit in the water then
realised that it should be left out in the air.

Yep! It's not very good, however. I tried the venturi but
I have better luck with a piece of thin air line. Attach
that instead of the venturi and be sure it is coming out the
top at the other end. (Blow down it gently to test if needs
be).

If you want bubbles and noise, try the airline (if the venturi
doesnt work). If you want quiet bubbles, get an airstone / pump.
If you just want your fish to be ok, no need for either.
