Tunze 6101 noise vs Vortech noise

So I installed two vortech's yesterday, and one of them is a bit louder than the other, such that it's a little annoying. I'm pretty sure if I send that one back, they will say nothing is wrong with it, simply because it's just a higher pitch but not substantially louder.

Either way, these pumps are a bit noisy. The thing is, I've never had a pump that can do more than 1000gph, so I may be chasing a ghost.

How do the Tunze 6101's sound? For almost the same price (maybe cheaper), I can get two Tunze 6101's, magnet holders, and a multicontroller.

I'm considering switching if the Vortech noise isn't reduced. I can hear it down the hall in my room at night =(
