Tetra Whisper Power Filter 40, 40-Gallon

I have used the Tetra Whisper filters on many different tanks for many years. I was quite sad to see them

apparently go away for a while. Seeing the filters available once again and I immediately bought a couple,

actually three now. Two have been returned and I am using the current one till I find a replacement.

The Whisper filters of old I thought were quite aptly named since were it not being able to see the water movement

across the surface of the tank you would never even know they were running.

NOT the case now... the first one was so noisy I thought for sure there has to be some kind of defect. Returning

it and buyihng another. Well.. once again, incredibly noisy. Thinking third time was a charm I decided to try

one more. I don't know what Tetra has done to these filters but whatever it was, please UNDO it. Unless you meant

Whisper to be completely sarcastic.

I had a good experience with the whisper 60 and the whispser 20. but for some reason the whisper 40 is so loud.... it started off quiet for about a month and i was happy(not to mention i could save some money) . but as soon as i took it out to clean the tubes and impeller. booom louder and louder it got(i went thru 3 of these) . i cleaned them up and returned them all. DO NOT BUY THE 40 FOR SOME REASON THEY CANT GET IT RIGHT... I purchased the marineland emperor 280 power filter(it was 15 dollars more)but well spent and well made. its so quiet i only hear my air pump. sorry whisper. but u should revamp the 40 gallon powerfilter. its junk...

Normally the Whisper filters are very quiet for me, but this one is so noisy with vibration, we decided to not use it.

This is by far the noisiest filter I have ever heard. Gave it one star because I had to give it something. Have no idea how it filters because I couldn't stand the droning noise for more than half an hour. My fish tank is in a semi-enclosed area where the noise echoes out into the room. My job requires me to transcribe work using ear phones. Could not hear with this going. Hopefully I can get my money back. Bought it replace a Top Fin because I couldn't find a replacement for the strainer end. The much quieter Top Fin is back in place with a temporary strainer.
