but I'd like to know how loud they are first, does anyone have anything to compare them to? Are they barely audible, or if the tank is in my kitchen will I definately be able to hear it?

Also does anyone have the comparable OR pump? And where would one buy this pump (the OR)?

Thanks,
Kyle

I have one as my main return from the sump on a 65 gallon tank. It is pretty quiet. My mag1200 that powers the protein skimmer is much louder. When I turn off the mag 1200 I can hardly hear the Sedra at all. I would get a more powerful one if I had to do it all over again, but that is a GPH question, not because of the noise
