I bought a new Eheim air pump the other day and the new design appears to be quite a big step backwards. The old one I have has big rubber feet and is pretty quiet where as the new one doesn't have much in the way of isolation.
I have it sat on a filter sponge which has made it quieter but still very noticeable. If I push it against the wall the vibrations stop but suspending it by the rubber hook it has or just holding it in my hand so it isn't actually touching anything there is still a lot of vibration.
Will thicker furniture type foam do a better job or given that it still vibrates when I hold it in my hand mean it is going to vibrate unless I put some sort of heavy object on top?
