The Eheim 1046 is nearly silent (slight hum and shakes a little bit which could cause noise if it's against a resonant surface). The 1048 is only slightly louder, also shakes a bit (maybe all pumps do to an extent).
I've had luck with the 1046 coupled with a Swiftech 5000 or 6000 water block (neither seems to need much flow).
I have a number of 1046s and 2 1048s in friend's PCs, where AFAIK they're been running 24x7 for, well, years, now. No pump failures - Eheim has a reputation for reliability, which, now that I've a little bit of experience with them, seems to be well deserved.
