I've never heard an Eheim, but I have an Iwaki MD20RT. (next size up) During some block testing, I had it sitting loose on a concrete pool apron, and could barely hear it from 2-3 feet away (the wind in the trees was louder, not to mention the tree rats...) I am sure that once one got it properly mounted inside a reasonably well damped case it would be essentially inaudible...

I've heard similiar reports about Eheims, so I would assume that there is probably not a significant noise difference between them.
