Online, BiOrb recommends positioning the air pump above water level and on a solid surace to reduce noise, mainly through vibration. They also mention that the air pump is at its noisiest in it's first 2 weeks, so if you have just purchased the tank this is most likely the problem. Personally, I have found that the air pump doesn't quieten down significantly over time, and so would recommend that you purchase an alternative silent air pump if the noise bothers you

∙ 11y agoThis depends on what type of noise it's making, and the type of filter. If you have an HOB (hang on back) and it's the sound of water flowing in the tank, then simply fill the water up as high as possible in your tank without going any higher than the bottom of the top rim piece.
If it's a mechanical noise, check to make sure that there is no dirt or sediment near the impeller as this will wear it down; sometimes replacing the impeller is needed.
If you have a canister filter that sits below the tank, you can try setting it in a bucket (also for safety purposes if it leaks). Some types of filters are much quieter than others, so that is something you can research if you consider upgrading your filter.

Is it bad to filter betta fish water?
No it's not a bad thing, as long as the filter is not too strong. If the filter is too strong it could make it difficult for the fish to swim around. It is also not usually necessary to use a filter with a betta, as long as the water is changed about once weekly. A filter would probably lengthen this time, but would NOT eliminate it.

What fish live without filter?
All fish kept by a hobbyist needs to have filtration of some sort whether that be through moving water & plant based in a pond, or a filter for an aquarium. Anything that is smaller than 10 gallons should not have fish at all regardless of how they are marketed; this includes betta fish that are crammed into cups in a store to make it appear as though they are 'fish bowl' type of fish.
