I'm having some noise issues with my Eheim 2076 and have tried several advice from my LFS (great support from him by the way - nothing bad to say about his efforts in this matter). I just want to be sure that it isn't me who is expecting too much from my filter. Mine is humming so loud that I can hear it clearly in my living room with the TV running from inside the cabinet. It takes TV music with an adequate volume or other constant sounds for it to drown the noise the filter is making but normal TV talk like the news makes it impossible not to hear it all the time. There is no air in the filter and the noise is the same if the filter is placed on something soft in the cabinet or even lifted from the surface so the noise doesn't come from resonance with the cabinet. The sound originate from the top part of the filter and I have tried changing the shaft and impeller and following other good advice from my LFS.
Can you guys hear your filter when it is inside your cabinet with the doors closed?
I'll return it to him tomorrow and ask him to send it down to Eheim but I'd like to hear if I'm unreasonable or just unlucky with the filter I got.
Your feedback is much appreciated!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it was so quiet the first 1-2 weeks that I couldn't hear it from inside the cabinet.
