Still, the faint noise of a DDC or an Eheim 1048 doesn't bother me, since disk drives either make about the same noise as either, so I'm happy to live with the faint noise of a pump given that I have to live with the noise of the disk drives anyway.

I personally think the sound of a finely tuned computer is music to my ears. I guess being an HVAC tech I am used to listening to machinery run and tune myself into its sounds to monitor for problems. I used the rubber isolation mounts that came with the AlphaCool top and my UFO hard drive brackets to mount my pump motor bottom into the 120mm fans (47cfm Yate Loon) airstream keeping this puppy cool as can be. I have tried to single out the pumps sound but as Cathar stated the drives make as much noise cancelling the pump.
Here is a picture of mine mounted and I have replaced the one blue heat sink with two more efficient models. Also I took this picture hand held leaning over my keyboard and shooting into the case.
