Geee, with all these replies, I will ned some time to collate them all.
In any case I ended up buying a Rio HyperFlow 17HF with the same nominal output. Probably not as strong, but half the size, half watt drain and hardly any noise! I just runt with the tap fully open now.

pumps make noise its just physic's
the noise can be minimised with quaility and sound buffering
the problem is that they have an impeler, which spins at high velocity, if this does not make a noise the miner vibrations resinating does, it sucks but its a fact
plus the cheaper they are, the quicker the wear, and the quicker they start making humming nosie's
the other problem is we want to have them in our comfort rooms where we relax, like a lounge room or bedroom, these are also the rooms where we relax and become quiet. hence you here the nosie.
my wife hates my tank noise but loves me so she puts up with it

That is expected. But like in cars you can buy a Daewoo, a Mazda or a Mercedes. They all do perform the same function. One better than the others, depending on wallet size. I was hoping some would indicate to me the Mazda of the pumps .
I had to find out by myself!
